42C Authority needed to operate vehicle from south to north of 26°S
Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Act, on and after the appointed day a person shall not, for hire or reward, operate a commercial goods vehicle from south of the 26th parallel of latitude to the north thereof, unless he is the holder of a Certificate of Authority issued to him by the Minister for that purpose.
The Minister may, on payment of the prescribed fee, issue such a certificate to the owner of a licensed commercial goods vehicle, if the Minister is satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so, and may attach to the certificate such conditions as to the mode of operation of the vehicle as he thinks proper to impose in the public interest.
Subject to subsection (4) such a certificate shall be valid for such period, not exceeding 12 months, as is determined by the Minister and is specified on the certificate.
The Minister may revoke such a certificate at any time if he is satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so, or if he is satisfied that the owner has not complied with any one or more of the conditions relating to the certificate.
The prescribed fee shall not exceed $50 per annum and —
where the certificate is for a period of less than one year the fee shall be one‑twelfth of the prescribed fee for each month or portion thereof the certificate is valid; and
where the certificate is revoked the fee shall be as for the period the certificate was valid and any excess paid shall be refunded.
In this section appointed day means such date as is, for the purposes of this section, fixed by the Governor by Order in Council published in the Government Gazette.
