(5) Can the Minister provide the average price of registering a Mitsubishi station wagon in (a) 2020, (b) 2010 and (c) 2000.
Mr Ramsay: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1&2) Caravan and trailer registration is based on the weight of the caravan or trailer. To determine the average price over a year would comparison across each weight category, by the number of trailers registered and would be an unreasonable diversion of public resources from the processing of transactions.
3) The ACT Government does not have a boat licence or registration scheme. ACT residents wishing to obtain a boat licence or register a boat should contact another state or territory’s relevant agency, such as NSW Roads and Maritime Services.
4) See attachment A
