Road Transport (General) Route Assessment Fees Determination 2014 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2014–24
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. Section 96 (5) explains that for the purposes of section 96, the road transport legislation includes the Heavy Vehicle National Law (ACT) (the National Law).  

Accordingly, under section 96 the Minister may determine fees and charges for a range of services related to the National Law, including services in relation to route assessment applications under section 154 of the National Law.

This fee determination replaces DI 2010-23, which was repealed with the commencement of the National Law on 10 February 2014.  It provides for a route assessment fee of $152.00, payable to the road transport authority as the road manager under the National Law, in respect of certain applications under the National Law for a mass or dimension exemption permit or class 2 heavy vehicle authorisation permit.  The fee is payable by the applicant for the assessment.
