I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Currently,
some local governments have requested a permit condition—CA07—that
requires the transport operator to have a letter of agreement for operating
restricted access vehicles on some local roads. In some cases this condition
has been used inappropriately to obtain a road maintenance contribution from the transport operator, and as such
Main Roads intends to withdraw the CA07 condition.
(2) Main Roads is
currently working with the Western Australian Local Government Association and
key stakeholders to identify other
potential mechanisms that will provide suitable outcomes for local governments.
