Accident towing and storage fees review 2018

We have started our review of accident towing and storage fees in Melbourne.

We conduct periodic reviews of fees for accident towing, storage and salvage services in Melbourne. These reviews inform recommendations to the Minister for Roads about whether currently regulated fees are appropriate and whether any unregulated storage or salvage services should have a regulated fee.

The minister has previously determined regulated accident towing and storage fees and may determine new fees in response to our recommendations. The minister also has the power to determine a regulated fee for basic salvage services.

During this review, we will release a consultation paper, draft report and a final report containing our final recommendations.

We will seek input from stakeholders during the review and we would like to hear from all interested parties.

Our role in this industry is set out in the Accident Towing Services Act 2007.   Submissions on the consultation paper closed on 3 May 2018.
