Trucking reforms take a step closer

Trucking reforms take a step closer

Quote:

Australia’s transport ministers have backed the introduction of a state-based national trucking regulator, naming three jurisdictions as possible hosts.

Meeting today, the Australian Transport Council (ATC) agreed to a system where the regulator will be hosted by one state. That state will make a ruling and then other jurisdictions will pass laws to ensure national uniformity.

The ATC says New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria have all expressed interest in taking the lead role under a scheme that Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Anthony Albanese says will benefit the industry.

“The regulator will be responsible for aligning the rules and regulations applying to vehicles over 4.5 tonnes, helping to improve the safety and productivity of the trucking industry,” he says.

A decision will now be made by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) after the ATC agreed to recommend to the nation’s leaders they support a state-based scheme.
