Road Transport (General) Vehicle Registration and Related Fees Determination 2010 (No 2) 
Disallowable instrument DI2010–73
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 allows the Minister to determine fees, charges and other amounts payable under the ACT road transport legislation.

This disallowable instrument has the effect of determining fees, payable in advance, for transactions relating to vehicle registration and related fees under the road transport legislation. 

Vehicle registration and related fees have been increased by the Wage Price Index of 3.5%, rounded down to the nearest ten cents.

In February 2008 the Australian Transport Council approved the national heavy vehicle registration charges to be implemented by all States and Territories.  The heavy vehicle fees in this determination reflect the National Transport Commission’s 2010 heavy vehicle charge annual adjustment increase of 4.2% and the implementation of the 3rd tranche of the staged implementation of the 2007 agreement on heavy vehicle charges.

There has been no increase in the road rescue fee and the short-term registration fee.

This determination is a disallowable instrument and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within 6 sitting days after its notification pursuant to section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.
