Overview

The Australian Capital Territory National Land (Road Transport) (Parking Fees) Determination 2021 was enacted to regulate parking fees for ticket parking spaces in designated areas within the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). This legislative instrument was made under subsection 8(1) of the National Land (Road Transport) Ordinance 2014 and is administered by the ACT Government. The primary objective of this determination is to set clear and consistent fees for parking in ticket parking spaces, thereby managing road transport and parking effectively within the national land. The determination specifies fees for short-stay and multi-stay parking spaces, ensuring users are aware of the costs associated with parking in designated areas. The determination outlines the fees payable for using ticket parking spaces, differentiating between short-stay and multi-stay parking. The fees are designed to encourage efficient use of parking spaces while generating revenue for the maintenance and management of parking infrastructure. This legislative instrument is crucial for maintaining orderly and well-managed parking systems, contributing to the overall efficiency of road transport in the ACT.

Scope and Application

The Australian Capital Territory National Land (Road Transport) (Parking Fees) Determination 2021 applies to the fees payable for the use of ticket parking spaces in designated areas within the Australian Capital Territory. It is established under the National Land (Road Transport) Ordinance 2014 and further modified by the Australian Capital Territory National Land (Road Transport) (Parking Legislation, Fees and Permits) Rules 2021. The determination sets out the fees for short-stay and multi-stay parking spaces, which must be paid to the Commonwealth by the person using the space. The fees are structured to account for different durations of parking, with specific rates outlined in the determination. The geographic reach of this legislation is confined to the Australian Capital Territory, and it applies to all individuals and entities using ticket parking spaces within the territory. The determination does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but fees are contingent on the type of parking space used and the duration of parking. This legislation is subject to potential modifications through subordinate instruments, such as the Australian Capital Territory National Land (Road Transport) (Parking Legislation, Fees and Permits) Rules 2021.

Key Provisions

The Australian Capital Territory National Land (Road Transport) (Parking Fees) Determination 2021 (the Determination) sets out the fees payable for the use of ticket parking spaces in the Australian Capital Territory. Section 5 of the Determination specifies the fees for short-stay and multi-stay parking spaces. Short-stay parking spaces, which permit parking for up to four hours, are charged at $3.60 per hour, or a pro-rated amount for partial hours. Multi-stay parking spaces, which allow for longer duration parking, are charged at $3.60 per hour up to a specified amount, with fixed fees for one day at $16.00 and five days at $77.50. These fees apply to parking spaces designated by the NCA chief executive under the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2017 (ACT). The Determination imposes obligations on users of ticket parking spaces to pay the specified fees. The fees are payable to the Commonwealth by the person using the space, as outlined in Section 5(2). The NCA chief executive has the authority to set aside ticket parking areas where these fees apply. The fees are intended to cover the cost of parking management and maintenance within the designated areas. The Determination also ensures that the fees are consistent with the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2017 (ACT) and the National Land (Road Transport) Ordinance 2014. Breach of the provisions set out in the Determination may result in civil or criminal penalties. While the Determination does not explicitly state penalties for non-payment or other breaches, non-compliance with road transport regulations can generally lead to fines under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 (ACT). The specific penalties for such offences would be determined by the courts, taking into account the nature and severity of the breach. It is important to note that any amendments to the fees or other provisions are subject to the legislative process and may be reflected in future determinations.
