TRANSPORT (SAFETY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT) AMENDMENT REGULATIONS

SUBORDINATE LAW No. SL 2002-7
The Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulations Amendment
2002 amends the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulations 2000,
made under the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act
1999.
The amendments make provision for the establishment and operation
of ticket (voucher) parking schemes managed by organisations other than the Road
Transport Authority.
Regulation 76 of the Road Transport (Safety and
Traffic Management) Regulations 2000 permits the Road Transport Authority to
establish and operate a ticket parking scheme for any length of road or area.
The wording of regulation 76 currently precludes any organisation other than the
Road Transport Authority from operating a ticket parking scheme and have it
enforced under the ACT Road Transport Legislation.
The amendments allow
the Road Transport Authority to declare an organisation to be a Parking
Authority who may establish and operate a ticket parking scheme for any length
of road or area under its control in accordance with the Road Transport
Authority guidelines.
The object of these regulation amendments is to:
(a) permit the
Road Transport Authority to declare an organisation as a Parking
Authority;
(b) make provision for the Parking Authority to establish and
operate a ticket parking scheme;
(c) provide guidelines which are a
disallowable instrument, for the establishment and operation of ticket parking
areas managed by organisations other than the Road Transport Authority; and
(d) provide an appeal process under the Road Transport (General)
Regulations 2000, in the event of the Road Transport Authority refusing to
declare an organisation to be a Parking Authority.
It was brought to the
attention of the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office that the cross reference
in regulation 71(1)(a) of Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management)
Regulations 2000 was incorrect. An amendment with the correct provision for the
exemption of police, emergency vehicles and authorised people has been
inserted.
The power to make these regulations is found under section 42
of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999.
