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.

This disallowable instrument has the effect of determining fees, payable in advance, for transactions relating to vehicle registration and related fees under the road transport legislation. 

Vehicle registration fees have been increased by 5%, rounded down to the nearest ten cents.  Other fees and charges have been increased by 4%, rounded down to the nearest ten cents.  The short term registration surcharge (payable for registration periods of less than 12 months) has not been changed.

Heavy vehicle fees in this determination have been adjusted with effect from 1 July 2018 and are not further amended by this determination.

Column 1 of schedule 1 lists the item number for which the fee is payable.  Column 2 of schedule 1 describes the service or other matter in relation to the fee payable.  Column 3 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable for a registration period commencing on or before the date listed in that column.  Column 4 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable for a registration period commencing on or after the date listed in that column.

Schedules 2 and 3 provide for fees applicable to external organisations requesting data sourced from the Road Transport Authority database.  

The preference of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety (Legislative Scrutiny Role) that Instruments or Explanatory Statements identify the amount of the old and new fee, any percentage increase and also the reason for any increase in the Instrument or the Explanatory Statement has been taken into account in the preparation of the Instrument and the Explanatory Statement.  

There are no human rights or climate change implications arising from this instrument. 

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.
