Road Transport (General) Driver Licence and Related Fees Determination 2017 (No 2)
Disallowable instrument DI2017–212
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 authorises 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 in advance, for driver licence and related transactions under the road transport legislation. 

This disallowable instrument replaces the previous instrument that was notified on 22 June 2017. 

A new fee for the issue or renewal of a full licence valid for 10 years is included in this fee determination. The fee is calculated on the basis of double the five year fee less seven per cent. This is consistent with the approach to vehicle registration fees where a discount is applied for payment of the full amount upfront. All current concessions and safe driver discounts will continue to apply to both the five year and 10-year licence options.  

All other fees remain as per Column 4 of schedule 1 of the fee determination that was notified on 22 June 2017 (DI2017-133). Item numbers have been renumbered where required.

Column 1 of schedule 1 lists the item number for which a fee is payable. Column 2 of schedule 1 describes the service or other matter in relation to which a fee is payable. Column 3, part 1 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable for a driver licence period commencing on or after 1 September 2017. Column 3, part 2 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable for a service or other matter paid for on or after 1 September 2017.

This determination is a disallowable instrument and must be presented to the Legislative Assembly within six sitting days after its notification pursuant to section 64 of the Legislation Act 2001.
