Queensland Motorways Limited - s.87B undertaking

The Undertaking relates to toll increases on roads in Brisbane. On 3 of the 4 tollways in Brisbane, the toll was increased by more than 10% and Queensland Motorways blamed the GST and minor rounding. In fact, the increase included a small component for increased margin.

Queensland Motorways Limited has undertaken to:

• publish a public apology for failing to advise consumers of the true nature of the toll increases;
• provide the public of Brisbane with a toll free day on Wednesday 16th August 2000;
• not seek any toll increases for 12 months from 1 July 2000; and
• implement a trade practices compliance program.
