Tow Truck Regulation 2009
LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
Tow Truck and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms three distinct areas: it regulates tow truck operators who remove vehicles from private property (like shopping centres), ensures 17-year-old drivers remain accountable for serious driving offences, and reduces administration fees for motorists with multiple unpaid tolls. The private property towing reforms respond to community complaints about exploitative practices.
Tow Truck Bill 2023
This bill replaces the 50-year-old Tow Truck Act 1973 with modern legislation governing the towing of vehicles from crash scenes, police seizures and private property in regulated areas of Queensland. It maintains consumer protections for vulnerable motorists while modernising the accreditation system for tow truck operators, drivers and assistants.
