Disallowable instrument DI2006–121
made under the  
Road Transport (General) Act 1999, Section 96 (Determination of fees, charges and other amounts)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 96 of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 authorises the Minister to determine fees, charges and other amounts payable under the ACT Road Transport legislation.

This instrument incorporates the new fees associated with the Road Transport Legislation (Taxi Licences) Amendment Regulation 2006 (No 2) and those fees made payable as part of disallowable instrument number 2006-37 that was notified on 6 March in relation to taxi licences and standby hire car permits.  The new fees included in this instrument are those for the issue of non-transferable leased taxi licences.

Disallowable instrument 2006-37 made under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, is revoked by this instrument.  The fees derived from disallowable instrument 2006-37 that have been incorporated into this instrument are those for:

•	an application for entry into a ballot of defined rights for certain taxi licences;
•	the issue of an extension of a defined right period;
•	the issue of transferable leased taxi licence;
•	the renewal of a wheelchair accessible taxi licence; and
•	the issue of stand-by hire car permit.

The new fee for the issue of a non-transferable leased taxi licence ($20,000 pa) mirrors the fee payable for the issue of a transferable leased taxi licence.  The instrument also provides the option of electing to make quarterly payments of $5,000.00. 

This determination is a Disallowable Instrument, and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within six sitting days after its notification pursuant to section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.
