The Treasury has announced the lowest increase in fees and charges for more than a decade.
The annual increase of 1.8 per cent is to apply from 1 July.
Treasurer, Cameron Dick said that under the new schedule, Queenslanders were set to save $3.7 million on car registration, relative to the previous indexation rate.
“Queensland continues to be one of the cheapest places in Australia to register a vehicle,” Mr Dick said.
“The 1.8 per cent indexation rate aligns with growth in Queensland’s Consumer Price Index for the year to March, the most recently available published data, and is lower than the 1.9 per cent recently announced by the South Australian Government.”
The Treasurer said the Government had provided more than $6 billion to Queensland households and businesses in COVID-19 support and recovery since February.
“As part of its COVID-19 response, the Government is providing relief on the cost of household utilities,” Mr Dick said.
“Each Queensland household is receiving $200 to offset the costs of power and water costs to help cover the pressure of increased home time during the early stages of the Government’s COVID-19 response.”
He said that under the indexation rate Queenslanders would save on land titling fees, traffic improvement fees, public transport fares and driver licence fees.
