Taxi Industry

In reply to the Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (3 August 2021). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

The Accreditation and Licensing Centre of the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) has recorded 37 transfers of taxi licences changing ownership during the period January to December 2020.

Regarding the value licences are sold for, the collection of this information is not a requirement under the Passenger Transport Act 1994. As such, DIT does not have valid information on the values of licences sold. Any additional information taxi operators voluntarily provide to DIT is not mandatory and is not validated.
