65Q Review of regional fuel tax scheme
  • (1) At any time after its regional fuel tax scheme has started, the relevant regional transport committee, on behalf of the relevant regional council, may review the scheme.

    (2) As a result of the review, the regional transport committee may decide to—

    • (a) leave the scheme unchanged; or

    • (b) vary the scheme under section 65R, to change the allocation of regional fuel tax revenue between the capital projects already included in the scheme; or

    • (c) replace the scheme under section 65S, provided that a scheme may not be replaced more than once every 3 years.

    (3) If the regional transport committee decides to vary or replace a scheme in accordance with subsection (2), the allocation of regional fuel tax revenue to a capital project included in the scheme must not be reduced without the prior agreement of the relevant project agency.
