under the

Road Transport (General) Act 2005

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Road Transport (General) Act 2005.

Minister for Roads

Explanatory note
The objects of this Regulation are:

(a) to amend the Road Transport (General) Regulation 2005 to increase:
(i) the penalty levels for penalties for motor vehicle offences that are dealt with by way of penalty notices issued under Part 5.3 of the Road Transport (General) Act 2005, and
(ii) the fees for access to information, the daily fee for the storage of an impounded motor vehicle and the fees with respect to the clamping of vehicles, and
(b) to amend the Road Transport (Mass, Loading and Access) Regulation 2005 to increase the fees for:
(i) the issue of a Class 1, 2 or 3 permit, or a permit under Division 6 or 7 of Part 2 of that Regulation, and
(ii) the issue of a permit exempting a person from the operation of any of the provisions of clause 53 (1) of that Regulation relating to the protection of loading or equipment of vehicles, and
(iii) an application to be accredited under a Mass Management Accreditation Scheme.

Except for penalties for motor vehicle speeding offences, the penalty level and fee increases are generally in line with movements in the Consumer Price Index.
