Transport Services Licensing Act 1989

Ministerial Directive to Transit New Zealand

1. The Government has decided that the passenger Transport regime introduced by the Transport Services Licensing Act 1989 and the Transit New Zealand Act 1989, will go ahead as planned. However, it believes that a smooth transition to the new regime is required to maximise national economic and social benefits.

2. The Government wishes to see this transition effected through the procedures administered by Transit New Zealand under the Transit New Zealand Act. Accordingly, I direct Transit New Zealand, in accordance with Section 7 of the Transit New Zealand Act 1989, to include in any competitive pricing procedure approved by the Authority for passenger services, transitional provisions which will allow regional councils to give preference to existing operators in the awarding of contracts for subsidised passenger services. These transitional provisions shall be subject to the conditions set out in paragraphs 3 to 8 of this Directive.

3. Any competitive pricing procedure approved by Transit New Zealand for passenger transport services shall contain an upper limit on the amount by which contracts let to existing operators may exceed the lowest priced bid received for the provision of a passenger service or services. This upper limit will be as follows—

   (a) For contracts let during the period 1 February 1991 to 30 June 1992, inclusive, contracts let to existing operators may exceed the lowest priced bid received by a maximum of 25 percent of that lowest priced bid;

   (b) For contracts let during the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993, contracts let to existing operators may exceed the lowest priced bid by a maximum of 12.5 percent of that lowest priced bid.

4. An existing operator shall be defined as an operator who was providing the same or reasonably comparable passenger services to those being tendered, on 1 November 1990.

5. Contracts awarded for passenger services affected by this directive shall be distributed such that the resultant expiry dates are reasonably spaced.

6. The Competitive Pricing Procedures shall be designed to ensure that the transitional provisions are equitably applied, and do not allow regional councils to favour particular operators in the selection of the duration of contracts.

7. The transitional provisions shall not be mandatory. The decision to adopt the provisions will lie solely with regional councils.

8. Transit New Zealand may make such other amendments to any competitive pricing procedure for passenger services as it sees fit in order to allow this transition to be effected.

W. ROB STOREY, Minister of Transport.
