In accordance with section 161 (2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, Land Transport New Zealand, on behalf of
the Minister of Transport, gives notice of his intention to make a Rule concerning the licensing of transport services and advises that draft Land Transport Rule: Operator Licensing (Rule 81001) is available for public consultation.
A large part of this proposed legislation carries over transport services licensing requirements currently in the Transport Services Licensing Act 1989.
The draft Rule also contains some proposed changes.
The Rule proposals apply to the holders of, or applicants for, passenger service, rental service, vehicle recovery service and goods service licences.
They also apply to the drivers of small passenger service vehicles, vehicle recovery service vehicles and “dial a driver” service vehicles, hirers of rental service vehicles and approved taxi organisations.
A copy of the draft Rule may be obtained by calling the
Land Transport New Zealand help desk on Freephone 0800 699 000 or by visiting our web site at:
www.landtransport.govt.nz/consultation/operator-licensing
The draft Rule is also available for viewing at Land Transport New Zealand’s regional offices.
A copy has been made available to groups and individuals who have expressed an interest in the Rule.
Submissions on draft Land Transport Rule: Operator Licensing close on 14 June 2006.
For further information, contact the Rules Team, Land Transport New Zealand, P.O. Box 2840, Wellington.
Dated at Wellington this 2nd day of May 2006.
