I refer the Minister to page 44 of the 2004-2005 Annual Report of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, which states that during 2005-2006 the Department will “Undertake a review of motor vehicle and driver licence concessions and develop a proposal for government consideration.” And I ask -
(1) What is the current status of this review?
(2) When is it anticipated that this review will be completed?
(3) Has the Minister been advised of any recommendations, be they draft or final, regarding motor vehicle and driver licence concessions, and will the Minister please provide details of these recommendations?
(4) Will the Minister rule out any reductions to the concessions currently provided on motor vehicle and driver licences?
(5) Is the State Government considering changing the concessions currently provided for motor vehicle and driver licences?
(6) Will the Minister table a copy of the review document and any proposals developed as a result of this review?

(2) It is anticipated that the review will take at least 12 months to complete. (3) No. (4) In general, exemptions or concessions are granted on the basis of: · social welfare: for people within the community who suffer from economic or physical disadvantage; · community service: for organisations that use vehicles to perform a community service and provide direct aid to the needy; and · low kilometre road usage: for owners of vehicles that on average travel fewer kilometres per year than other vehicles in their mass and/or configuration class. Some of the concessions granted by the Department were introduced many years ago, for reasons that may no longer be valid. It is intended that each concession class will be reviewed. (5) A number of reviews of licensing concessions have been performed in the past that have made recommendations to streamline the application and administrative processes involved. These recommendations have been, or are currently being, implemented. The reviews also recommended a review of the eligibility criteria established for concessions, and the ongoing need for specific categories of concession. This is the purpose of the proposed review. (6) Yes.
