Road Transport (General) (Public Passenger Services Licence and Accreditation Fees) Determination 2013 
Disallowable instrument DI2013–218
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 relating to operator accreditation for taxi, bus, hire car, demand responsive services and taxi networks as well as fees payable for the licensing of taxis and hire cars and the authorisation of demand response services, under the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001.

The instrument has been amended to allow for a fee payable for an application for an accreditation or the issue of an accreditation or licence to also include the renewal of an accreditation or a licence.  

Items 9.5 and 9.6 have also been added to the instrument to allow for a fee payable for the issue of a non-transferable leased taxi licence (including renewal), if the conditions imposed on the taxi licence state that the vehicle is capable of carrying one or two wheelchair dependent people, respectively, and that priority for the hiring of the taxi is given to wheelchair dependant people.

The fee payable for the transfer of a taxi licence, under Part 2 of the Schedule, has been increased from $49 to $50.  

All other fees remain the same as the former fee determination.
