ACT Government is on Notice Release of 30 taxi plates in 2018

ACTTPOA will take instructions from the Association to seek injunctive relief against the Territory

As of September 2018, the Association is concerned that the ACT Government’s decision to release immediately a further 30 taxi plates will dilute the value of ACT taxi plates. The release of plates will occur after a ten month delay during which the Government undertook to consult the industry. The absence of proper consultation could construe the Government’s decision as being arbitrary and peremptory in nature. The ACT Government is on notice that unless the ACT provides an undertaking that it will stay its decision to release further taxi plates within the ACT until it has allowed a consultation to take place which is of a minimum period of 60 days, we will take instructions from the Association to seek injunctive relief against the Territory.
