Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Parking Authority Declaration 2015 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2015–287
made under the  
Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2000, section 75(A)(2) (Parking Authorities)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Subsection 75A (2) of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2000 (the Regulation) permits the Road Transport Authority to declare a person or entity to be a Parking Authority which may establish and operate a ticket parking scheme for any length of road or area under its control in accordance with the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Guidelines 2002. Subsection 75A (3) of the Regulation makes such a declaration a disallowable instrument.

Eyre Kingston Pty Ltd applied to the Road Transport Authority to be a Parking Authority for the area block 50 section 19 in the suburb of Kingston.

The new disallowable instrument effects the declaration by the Road Transport Authority of Eyre Kingston Pty Ltd as a Parking Authority for the identified area.

The new disallowable instrument is not deemed to require a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS), as the area of land to which it relates has previously operated as a pay parking area. Block 50 section 19 Kingston was a pay parking area operated by the ACT Government prior to its purchase by Eyre Kingston Pty Ltd in June 2015. As such, the Disallowable Instrument relating to block 50 section 19 Kingston can be deemed “a matter of a transitional character,” which is shown in section 36(1)(f) of the Legislation Act 2001 as grounds for an RIS not being required.
