Passenger Transport Act 1994

An accreditation will be subject to—

the condition that the accredited person will observe the relevant code of practice under this Act; and

other conditions (if any)—

imposed by the Minister in relation to the accreditation;

or

prescribed by the regulations or otherwise imposed under this

Act.

The Minister may, for example, in relation to an accreditation under Division

1, give the accreditation subject to a condition that makes provision for or with respect to—

the area of operation of the passenger transport service;

or

the periods within which vehicles may, or may not, be operated;

or

the timetables to which vehicles are to be operated;

or

the fares to be charged or other arrangements for remuneration to be made (including the use of vouchers and fare subsidy schemes);

or

the manner in which the passenger transport service may, or may not, be operated; or

the class of persons who may be transported on public transport vehicles operated for the purposes of that service.

The Minister may, if the Minister considers it appropriate to do so, by notice in writing to an accredited person, vary a condition to which the accreditation is subject.

An accredited person may, on application made to the Minister in writing, request the variation of a condition to which the accreditation is subject, and the Minister may, as the Minister thinks fit—

grant the variation; or

refuse to grant the variation.

The conditions of an accreditation may be varied by the addition, substitution or deletion of one or more conditions.

A determination by the Minister under this section as to an area for the operation of a passenger transport service by an accredited person does not confer on the person an exclusive right to operate a passenger transport service within that area.

A person must not contravene or fail to comply with a condition of an accreditation. Maximum penalty: Penalty:

in the case of an accreditation under

Division 1—Division 3 fine;

in the case of an accreditation under

Division 2—Division 5 fine;

in the case of an accreditation under

Division 3—Division 3 fine. Expiation fee: in the case of an accreditation under

Division 2—$315.
