Owner-Operator Taxi Licence Reserve Price Investigation

The Taxi and Hire Vehicle Industries Act 2008 requires the Tasmanian Economic Regulator to set reserve prices for Owner-Operator Taxi Licences for each taxi area in Tasmania.

The current reserve price determination for owner-operator taxi licences will cease on 31 December 2025. The Economic Regulator is required to conduct an investigation and make a new determination in relation to each of the 24 taxi areas in Tasmania by  1 December 2025.

The Regulator has commenced its investigation and has published a fact sheet along with a short survey for interested parties to complete. Survey closes 6 June 2025.

Taxi Fare Methodology Inquiry

The Government, upon the request of the Transport Commission, may require the Regulator to undertake an inquiry into the appropriate methodologies for setting taxi fares. The report on such inquiries is to be presented to the Transport Commission, with a copy provided to the Government.​
