Regulations

1 Title

2 Commencement

These regulations come into force on 1 July 2017.

3 Principal regulations

These regulations amend the Transport Services Licensing Regulations 1989 (the principal regulations).

In Schedule 1, replace “28.20” with “9.78” in each place.

Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 July 2017, consequentially amend the Transport Services Licensing Regulations 1989 to align the vetting fees set out in Schedule 1 (changing $28.20 to $9.78 including GST) with the vetting request fee to be prescribed in the Policing (Cost Recovery) Regulations 2017 ($8.50 excluding GST). The figure of $9.78 is calculated by multiplying $8.50 by 1.15 and then rounding the product of $9.775 to $9.78.
