The amendment to the Land Transport Management Act was accepted by Parliament to be considered under urgency this week and is likely to be passed in coming days.

Meanwhile, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has confirmed details of how the scheme will be ended – and it’s drawing a firm line.

As promised by now transport minister Simeon Brown, December 31 will be the last day for vehicles to be registered to receive a rebate. Not only will the vehicle require registration that day, but the application will need to be ‘successfully’ submitted by 11.59pm.
