Back at the August 2025 Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM), ministers supported a preferred 6 per cent increase to heavy vehicle charges for 2026–27, and directed the National Transport Commission to undertake public consultation on the proposed increase.
These charges are made up of:
Annual registration charges – collected by state and territory governments
Fuel-based road user charges – collected by the Commonwealth government
A consultation paper has now been released by NTC, with industry invited to share their feedback on the proposed increases by clicking here.
Submissions close on Friday, December 12, 2025.
The post Industry consultation open for proposed 6 per cent increase to heavy vehicle charges appeared first on Big Rigs.
