          <inserted>The Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) conducts approximately 25,000 interstate vehicle transfer inspections (known as tier 2) and 3,000 repaired written-off vehicle inspections (known as tier 3) per annum.

          <inserted>In the last 18 months demand for vehicle inspection services has remained at high levels with additional spikes driven by economic, industry and consumer factors resulting in longer waiting times.</inserted>

          <inserted>DIT has implemented strategies to meet inspection demand and reduce waiting times and will continue to make improvements.

          <inserted>For clients located within a 100-kilometre radius of the Adelaide GPO, identity and road safety inspections are conducted at Regency Park. In this case Dublin Motors is approximately 55 kilometres from the Regency Park facility, with a 40-minute travel time via the Northern Connector and north-south motorway. This travel time is similar to those experienced by customers from areas like Stirling or Noarlunga.</inserted>
