Single National Heavy Vehicle Regulator
In February 2010 the Government announced thatQueensland will become the host jurisdiction for the national heavy vehicle regulator. Once set up, this new regulator will be responsible for putting in place nationwide rules and regulations for all vehicles over 4.5 tonnes, including inspection standards, safe driving hours, mass limits and registration.
The move from state-based to national regulations will improve the safety and productivity of the trucking industry and follows the decision made in December by COAG to make the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) - based in Canberra - the national regulator of all commercial vessels operating in Australian waters and appoint South Australia the host jurisdiction for the national rail safety regulator.
The aim of the governments of Australia is to put in place a seamless national economy - an outcome that will lift national productivity and allow transport operators to get products onto supermarkets shelves and our exports to market at the lowest cost.
It is proposed that all reforms will be fully implemented by 2013.
