NEW SOUTH WALES news & INDUSTRY REFORMS LICENCE ASSISTANCE The NSW Taxi Council is advocating for fair and just compensation for the drastic drop in the value of Taxi licences in NSW and the ensuing loss suffered by its members (licence holders). The NSW Taxi Council submitted a petition to the NSW Parliament to buy back the Taxi licences in September - October 2019. This petition was unanimously accepted by the Parliament and resulted in - 1. Point to Point Independent Review 2020 - conducted by the NSW government; and 2. Parliamentary Upper House Inquiry into the Operation of the Point to Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Act 2016 The reports for both the review and inquiry have been released, and the government has responded to the recommendations in both the reports. Based on recommendations in the reports, Transport for NSW has announced the Point to Point Transport Reforms 2021. As part of the industry consultation for these reforms, Transport for NSW conducted a series of webinars and surveys. All webinars and surveys have now been completed and closed. Fact sheets for information from the webinar is available. NSW Taxi Council is currently asking all Taxi licence owners across NSW to visit their local members of parliament and update them about the NSW Taxi Industry reforms proposed by the NSW government. NSW Taxi Council continues to engage with the NSW government and advocate for fair and just financial assistance to Taxi licence owners and help Taxi licence holders and businesses stay in the industry and transition to new ways of working as smoothly as possible.
