Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer MP has highlighted today that the NSW Government's $100 registration discount kicks in across NSW, but condemned the Labor Government for not doing enough to support regional drivers.
Mr Dwyer said the $100 rego discount was a NSW Liberals commitment, subsequently adopted by the Labor Government.
“Any cost-of-living relief is welcome, and I'm glad local families will see $100 back in their pockets when their rego comes due," Mr Dwyer said.
"This was a Liberal policy, and it's good to see the Government get behind it. Cost of living is hurting people right across our region, and every bit of relief counts.”
"But for drivers in regional NSW, the cost of getting from A to B goes far beyond rego. We rely on our vehicles far more than city residents, and the state of our roads, the distances we travel, and the lack of public transport alternatives mean every dollar counts.”
“This is why the NSW Liberals announced that, if elected, we would reinstate the popular Regional Seniors Travel Card, making daily life easier by easing the cost of living for regional seniors.”
"I'll keep pushing for the investments that make a real difference for regional communities: better roads, safer highways, and the infrastructure our growing region needs."
The discount applies automatically when a vehicle is due for registration, when a new vehicle is registered in NSW, or when a vehicle is re-registered after previously being unregistered. Drivers whose rego was due in July or August will receive the discount when their registration is renewed in 2027.
Drivers can manage their registration details through their MyServiceNSW account or the Service NSW app.
