Costs & The Law
| Motor Vehicle Registration fees in Queensland | |
|---|---|
| In this FactSheet, RACQ has analysed the Queensland motor vehicle registration fees and compared them with the arrangements in all other states and territories. RACQ confirms that the Queensland Government charges the highest registration fees in Australia. When combined with the loss of the fuel subsidy, Queensland now has the highest vehicle ownership and operating costs. The increase in motoring taxes will not go to additional transport projects, instead it goes to consolidated revenue to plug gaps in the budget from other shortfalls. | |

| Queensland Fuel Subsidy Scheme Fact Sheet | |
| The RACQ explains the value of the Queensland Fuel Subsidy Scheme (QFSS) to motorists and why the Queensland Government should not be abolishing it. The QFSS reduces the price of fuel by 9.2 cents a litre. People living in regional areas and outer metropolitan suburbs, who do not get much benefit from public transport subsidies, will be the ones to suffer most. | |

| Services and Facilities for Motorists with Disabilities | |
| RACQ members regularly comment on the steady decrease in the number of fuel service stations offering driveway services. This is a particular worry for members who have physical disabilities that limit their mobility thus preventing, or restricting, them from doing simple tasks on their vehicle such as refuelling, checking tyres, etc. This statement defines the RACQ’s position on the provision of services and facilities for motorists with physical disabilities that limit their mobility. | |
