Road Transport (General) Numberplate Fees Determination 2012
Disallowable instrument DI2012–84
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 numberplates and the rights to registration numbers issued under the road transport legislation.

All numberplate fees have been increased by the Wage Price Index of 3.5%, rounded down to the nearest ten cents.  

The instrument provides for new fees for European style numberplates which are specially designed to fit European designed vehicles.  The fees for European style numberplates have been set to be consistent with other premium numberplates, such as personalised and custom, that are already available in the ACT.  The ACT and the Northern Territory are the only Australian jurisdictions that do not currently provide the option of a European style numberplate.

Column 1 of schedule 1 lists the item number.  Column 2 of schedule 1 describes the service or other matter in relation to the fee payable.  Column 3 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable on or before 30 June 2012.  Column 4 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable on or after 1 July 2012.

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.
