5 hours ago | 42 views

Transport Minister Chris Bishop announced a consultation on proposed regulations to modernize New Zealand's road user charges system, transitioning from petrol tax to electronic charges based on actual road use and vehicle weight. The regulations will define how approved providers operate, protect personal data, and introduce flexible payment options like subscriptions or post-payment. The government seeks input from various sectors to create a fairer, simpler, and privacy-compliant system, with consultation open until 12 June.
