May 23, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Young people aged 15 to 17 will soon be able to obtain proof-of-age cards under legislative changes being introduced in State Parliament on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Deputy Premier Jackie Trad introduced a range of amendments to existing statutes in the Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill.<\/p>\n

“These changes are all about streamlining existing rules and regulations as well as providing clearer understanding of their requirements,” Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

“The move to give young people between 15 and 17 proof-of-age cards recognises the changing needs of millennials, particularly in being able to access bank accounts and phone contracts.”<\/p>\n

The amendments will also reduce red tape for customers who use Transport and Main Roads centres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We will do this through removing the requirement for customers to complete application forms for a number of services including license and registration renewal,” Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

The bill will also remove the requirement to apply on an approved form for a restricted driver licence, alcohol ignition interlock exemption or nominate a vehicle for the interlock program.<\/p>\n

A targeted trial of the new system will begin in the second half of 2017 before it is expanded.<\/p>\n

“This is a contemporary way of conducting business and not only saves time for the customer but reduces transaction times for customer service centre staff,” Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

It was also anticipated the changes would save money due to a decrease in the number of forms printed and a reduction in associated warehousing, distribution and storage costs of records.<\/p>\n

Ms Trad said the amendment bill also made a number of changes in the regulation of dangerous goods, transport of commercial vessel rules and driver authorisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Transport portfolio is an extensive and diverse field whose regulatory requirements impact almost all Queenslanders at some stage of their lives,” Ms Trad said.<\/p>\n

“Therefore it\u2019s essential the rules we live by are regularly reviewed and amended where required to reflect our modern world.”<\/p>\n

The Bill will be debated later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
