Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Parking Authority Declaration 2016 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2016–278
made under the  
Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2000, s 75A (Parking authorities)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 75A (2) of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2000 (the regulation) permits the road transport authority to declare a person or 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. Section 75A (3) of the regulation provides that such a declaration is a disallowable instrument.

NG Landholdings Nominee Pty Ltd has applied to the road transport authority to be a parking authority for the area block 2 section 200 in the division of Belconnen.

This instrument effects the declaration by the road transport authority of NG Landholdings Nominee Pty Ltd as a parking authority for the identified area.

This 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 2 section 200 Belconnen was a pay parking area operated by the ACT Government prior to its purchase by NG Landholdings Nominee Pty Ltd in May 2015. As such, the declaration relating to block 2 section 200 Belconnen can be deemed “a matter of a transitional character”, which section 36 (1) (f) of the Legislation Act 2001 provides does not require a RIS.
