NSW toll reform suggestions ‘a recipe for disaster’: IPA

NSW’s toll review should dump suggestions of overriding the state’s toll road contracts with legislation because it risks spooking investors, says research and policy group Infrastructure Partnerships Australia.

An interim report on Sydney’s toll roads from former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Allan Fels and transport expert David Cousins recommended in March that the government pass legislation to create a new system of “network tolls” to replace current concession arrangements.
