Road Transport (General) (Pay Parking Area Fees) Determination 2014 (No 2) 
Disallowable instrument DI2014—253
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 road transport legislation.

The Road Transport (General) (Pay Parking Area Fees) Determination 2014 DI2014-142 that was notified on 17 June 2014 did not provide pre-paid long stay parking tickets to all-day ticket parking areas with a $11.00 all-day rate. This new instrument provides users of $11.00 all-day tickets with access to the pre-paid long stay parking ticket scheme.

This determination sets the relevant parking fees for Territory-operated pay parking areas.  Under the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2000, pay parking areas fall into two categories: metered parking areas (which are established by the road transport authority under section 73(1) of the Regulation) and ticket parking schemes (which are established by the authority under section 76(1) of the Regulation).

The fee increases provided by this instrument take effect when the instrument commences.

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.
