Overview
The Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Instrument 2024, enacted by Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell, Vice-Chancellor and President, seeks to address the operational and administrative complexities of managing parking and traffic on the university’s campus. This notifiable instrument under the Legislation Act 2003 (Cwlth) was developed to modernise and streamline the university's parking and traffic management systems. By approving the ePermit system and PayStay parking system for electronic permit issuance and payment, the instrument aims to enhance efficiency and convenience for both staff and students. The instrument also repeals the previous 2019 instrument to ensure all regulations are current and aligned with the university's latest operational needs.
Scope and Application
The Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Instrument 2024 applies to the Australian National University (ANU) and its operations, specifically concerning parking permits and payment methods within the university's jurisdiction. This legislation is instrumental in regulating the electronic permit and payment systems for parking on ANU property, approved under the Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Statute 2019. The instrument affects entities such as the university, the designated parking systems provider, Orikan Group Pty Ltd, and individuals who use the parking facilities on campus. The geographic reach of this legislation is confined to the ANU's campus, and it does not extend beyond the university's jurisdiction.
This instrument specifies that the PayStay parking system and ePermit system are approved for issuing parking permits in electronic form, and it also approves the PayStay system as a method for paying parking fees. The instrument repeals the previous Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Instrument 2019, replacing it with the current provisions. Notably, any existing parking permits under the former instrument cease to be effective from the date this new instrument commences, which is 1 January 2025. The instrument does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, and it does not mention any subordinate instruments extending or restricting its application.
Key Provisions
The Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Instrument 2024 (sections 1-8) establishes the regulatory framework for parking and traffic management at the Australian National University (ANU). Commencing on 1 January 2025, this instrument provides definitions for key terms (section 4), approves specific electronic systems for parking permits and payment methods (sections 5 and 6), repeals the previous 2019 instrument (section 7), and clarifies the cessation of existing parking permits upon the new instrument's commencement (section 8). The instrument is underpinned by the Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Statute 2019.
The instrument imposes obligations on various parties, including the University, the parking systems provider (Orikan Group Pty Ltd), and the public. The University is tasked with managing the approved ePermit system and ensuring its proper operation. Orikan Group Pty Ltd is responsible for developing and maintaining the PayStay parking system and the ePermit system. The public, including students, staff, and visitors, must adhere to the new regulations, including obtaining permits through the approved electronic systems and using the PayStay system for parking fee payments.
Breach of the provisions within this instrument can lead to legal consequences. While specific penalties are not detailed within the instrument itself, breaches of the underlying statute or related regulations may incur fines, penalties, or other civil and criminal consequences as stipulated in the Australian National University (Parking and Traffic) Statute 2019 and other applicable laws. The exact nature and severity of penalties would depend on the specific breach and the relevant legislative provisions.
