Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regular Route Services Maximum Fares Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010—96
made under the
Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001, s 23 (Regular route services – power to determine maximum fares)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Under section 23 of the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001 the Minister may determine maximum fares and ways of calculating maximum fares, payable by passengers on regular route services.

This instrument revokes Disallowable Instrument DI2009-201 (Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Regular Route Services Maximum Fares Determination 2009 (No 3)).

This determination increases fees broadly in accordance with the Wage Price Index (WPI) estimate for 2010-11 of 3.5%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges.  The impact of rounding, generally to the nearest ten cents, has resulted in some fares increasing by marginally less or more than the WPI estimate.  Overall, anticipated fares revenue will increase by an average of 3.25%.

This instrument commences on 1 July 2010.
