2512 - REVENUE GENERATED FROM SAFETY CAMERAS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport representing the Minister for Roads and Ports

How has the Government used the $38 million revenue generated from safety cameras in the last financial year?
Answer -

I am advised:

All revenue generated from traffic fine cameras in the last financial year was directed to the Consolidated Fund and used to finance government programs. Information on government income and spending can be found on the NSW Treasury website.

On 1 June, this Government announced that revenue from speed, red-light and point-to-point camera offences will be used to directly fund road safety initiatives through the NSW Community Road Safety Fund. Legislation to establish the fund was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 13 September 2012 and will soon be considered by the Legislative Council.

Under this arrangement, fine revenue from camera-detected offences, including from fixed speed cameras, school zone cameras, mobile speed cameras, red-light and speed cameras, and point-to-point cameras will be used to fund road safety initiatives.
