Road Traffic (Amendment to Fees) Regulations 1997
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 14 October 1997general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Road Traffic (Amendment to Fees) Regulations 1997, focusing on increases to driver's licence and vehicle recording fees. The Committee raised concerns about the validity of the increases after a previous disallowance and the imposition of a fee for a credit card facility not yet available, potentially constituting an unauthorised tax.
Impact
WA drivers and vehicle owners are affected by the increased licence and recording fees. The parliamentary process of disallowance is undermined. The Department of Transport is impacted by the legal challenges to the fee increases.
