The Australian Standard is currently under review and if, when the standard is promulgated by Standards Australia, it requires a different parking provision rate than is currently required under the BCA or the Guidelines, these will be amended as necessary.

(Question No 1552)
Mr Seselja asked the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 1 May 2007:
(1) How many (a) motorcycles and (b) motor scooters were registered in the ACT each year from 2000 to 2006;
(2) What is the projected rate of registrations for (a) motorcycles and (b) motor scooters each year for the next 5 years;
(3) How many accidents involving (a) motorcycles and (b) motor scooters have occurred each year from 2000 to 2006.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Motorcycles and motor scooters are not recorded separately on the rego.act database, so it is not possible to provide the number of registrations for each category. The total number of motorcycles and motor scooters registered at 31 December are:
2000 = 5,961 2001 = 6,378 2002 = 6,744 2003 = 7,041
2004 = 7,503 2005 = 8,049 2006 = 8,725
(2) Based on an average annual increase of 460 registrations in each of the last six years, the rate of registrations for the next five years is projected to be:
2007 = 9,185 2008 = 9,645 2009 = 10,105 2010 = 10,565
2011 = 11,025
(3) Separate data is not available for motorcycle and motor scooter accidents. The number of accidents involving both motorcycles and motor scooters are:
2000 = 197 2001 = 160 2002 = 186 2003 = 153
2004 = 169 2005 = 191 2006 = 149*
* To end of November 2006
