Today IPART has released an Issues Paper for the 2015 review of private ferry fares. Each year, IPART recommends the maximum fares that can be charged for regular private ferry services. Fares for Sydney Ferries and Stockton ferry service in Newcastle are determined through a separate process.
The Issues Paper invites public comment on indicative fare recommendations to apply from 1 January 2016, and on other matters including IPART’s proposed approach for incorporating external benefits such as lower road congestion into fare decisions.
Submissions on the Issues Paper are due on 1 December 2015.
