Road Transport (Mass, Loading and Access) Amendment Regulation 2004
under the

Roads Act 1993

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Roads Act 1993.

CARL SCULLY, M.P., Minister for Roads

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Road Transport (Mass, Loading and Access) Regulation 1996 so that an ultra-low floor bus is no longer required to be a complying bus. A complying bus is required to meet certain Australian Design Rules that are not appropriate in the case of an ultra-low floor bus because of its low centre of gravity and low floor height. This Regulation is made under the Roads Act 1993, including sections 264 (the general regulation-making power) and 264A.
