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 ACT road transport legislation.

This disallowable instrument has the effect of determining fees for transactions relating to vehicle numberplates and the rights to registration numbers issued under the road transport legislation.

The fees for numberplates have been increased by 4%, rounded down to the nearest ten cents except for national heavy vehicle numberplates which remains at $25.  

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 on or before 31 July 2018.  Column 4 of schedule 1 lists the fee payable on or after 1 August 2018.

There is no fee in column 3 or 4 for items 5.5 or 5.6, Brumbies special series registration numbers, as the Road Transport Authority will offer these numberplates by a method determined by the Road Transport Authority. 

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.
