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.
