As reported -

The Miles Government has today announced further cost of living relief for Queenslanders.
Queensland registration fees will be cut by 20 per cent, set to put hundreds back in the pockets of 5.7 million car owners.
The 20 per cent reduction will apply to all light vehicle registrations for a 12-month period from 16 September 2024.
Notice of the 20 per cent discount will start to appear on renewal notices sent to customers from 5 August.
The reduction will apply to the registration fee and the traffic improvement fee for all light vehicles, regardless of purpose of use and will apply to motorcycles and trailers.
It follows Premier Steven Miles putting a freeze on rego costs in December 2023.
The move is backed by a $435 million investment by the State Government, as part of the upcoming state budget.
The reduction will see a 12-month registration bill for a private use four-cylinder vehicle reduce by almost $85, bringing registration fees down to $338.75, excluding CTP.
For vehicles registered on a pensioner concession the reduction will be nearly $50 and will reduce registration fees down to $194.50, excluding CTP.

          The reduction is available for a year, so if you did a 6 month renewal now you’d still only be able to take advantage of it once, or am I missing something?

        No it's not. You pay extra in fees. Best to pay for 12 months, or pay for 6months if your rego is due between 16 September and 16 March and then renew at 12 months.

        Also the 20% off, is 20% off the registration component of your renal. EV's and <4 cylinder vehicles will save <10%. 5 cylinder and larger will save >10%. No-one will save 20% on their renewal because the traffic improvement and CTP components will not be discounted.

              @pyr0: That is around %1.9 for a 6cyl ($1003). A true ozbargainer would rather put the money in a savings account, instead of lending it to the govt.

                @fwhite: Too right. At 5% you would make more in interest than the $19 fee.

          • INFIDEL on 08/06/2024 - 12:46

            @fwhite: This reduction is only about $85/yr or $50 for pensioners.

        • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 08/06/2024 - 17:13

          This completely depends. I pay by rego monthly, not because I can’t afford to pay in full, but because I sell cars fairly often, and selling a car with 6+ months of rego on it rather than 1 month would negate 20+ years of savings

          • G-rig on 09/06/2024 - 09:15

            @WhatWouldBiggieDo: I wouldn't buy a car with one month of rego left, that just comes off your asking price. 6 months is alright for a bit more cost over 12 months.

      It's for a 12 month period, so when your rego comes up for renewal in May next year, it'll be discounted by 20%

      • Iluvfreebies on 08/06/2024 - 14:26
        +1

        Got it, this is not a permanent reduction. It is only for a 12-month period from sept for 1 year renewals.

    • snackerjoe on 08/06/2024 - 18:50

      If you renew next year you'll pay at the lower price since you'll still be in the discount period right?

      Edit: never mind, saw the other comments

          Out of interest do you actually understand the definition of ‘communist’?

          There has NEVER been a communist state/nation. Socialist, sure. But never communist. Though every time people such as yourself claim that Victoria has gone ‘full communist’ it’s actually a little bit funny because I’m confident it’s ‘facist’ that your beautiful mind means but you don’t understand the nuance between the two.

            @CommanderCrumbcake: Yeah, every time they tried communism in the last 100 years the right people were not in charge, so of course it wasn’t true communism and didn’t work.
            Next time, when I get to run a communist state, it will work.

            But yeah Victoria isn’t communist.

                @Appleboat: What needs to happen to reduce Qld energy prices is to stop selling power south. Then local supply increases and price falls. This incidentally would cause a boom economically, although the government would have reduced earnings for not selling power to the southerners.
                The other problem is that the economic boom means a heap more Victorians than currently migrate will move north and bring their politics with them.

                @Ham Dragon: Pork Barreling is where the money is spent in a very area to win, this, the electricity subsidy and cheap public transport are for whole state so it's just normal vote buying, which every gov't has done for all time. So, when the newspaper and radio hosts try to paint this as anything but good for the general public, you know there's probably a Murdoch hand up someone's puppet hole.

                  @Nalar: Considering the ALP is predicted to be wiped out, it's most certainly pork barrelling in the manner you describe, it's just this time they're targeting the entire state instead of a swing or bell weather electorate. The timing of these announcements are particularly cynical.

                @Ham Dragon: This is simply not what pork barreling is, as Nalar points out. You might as well join the poster screaming communism.

                Lowering a fixed cost for most people is sound policy for lowering cost of living; which is pretty much the issue of most concern to people.

If this really was a genuine measure to assist people doing it tough they would have acted much earlier, but it's not, it's a desperate & cynical attempt to avoid being wiped out at the polling booth.

        how so? a $85/yr/car reduction in revenue is hardly a dent in the state budget. plenty of more money wasted on rebates and direct support of the mining industry. But at least Qld is upping the royalty fees in the likes of coal to help pay for this stuff.

        unless you live in inner Brisbane, you need a car to travel in Queensland. So this is a direct saving to most households. I haven't seen the Qld budget but I'll bet it's cross subsidised by a hefty increase in fines. Just like the 50c public fare will see a 10% increase in fare evasion fines. (~$330 I believe). The govt giveth (to make the media cycle) and they taketh (which doesn't make the media cycle).

        its a well known fact around the world the cost to build "new" infrastructure for olympics or commonwealth games doesnt translate in a net profit for the place its held

        we should be using existing infrastructure on the east coast for the brisbane olympics and just call it "the australian olympics" and part of your olympic ticket includes transport from brisbane city to the city the event is in.

        • Mechz on 08/06/2024 - 13:40

          That's a lot of money to be pumped into avgas instead of infrastructure. Neither are viable.

          I do agree about sharing it across the East Coast though. Would be a shitfight to sort out the ceremonies and events though.
