2—Commencement
These regulations will come into operation on the day on which Part 3 of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (South Australia) Act 2013 comes into operation.
3—Interpretation
In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—
Act means the Heavy Vehicle National Law (South Australia) Act 2013;
further inspection of a heavy vehicle means an inspection of the vehicle undertaken to determine if matters identified by a previous inspection have been addressed;
Law means the Heavy Vehicle National Law (South Australia);
Metropolitan Adelaide has the same meaning as in the Development Act 1993;
route assessment—see Schedule 1, item 9;
Transport Department means the administrative unit that, under the responsible Minister, is responsible for the administration of the Act.
4—Fees
	(1)	The fees set out in Schedule 1 are payable as set out in the Schedule.
	(2)	A fee payable for booking an inspection must be paid when the booking is made.
	(3)	A fee payable for an inspection or route assessment must be paid prior to the inspection or assessment.
	(4)	If a heavy vehicle is a heavy combination, a fee is payable for an inspection of each component vehicle of the combination.
	(5)	If more than 1 fee becomes payable for an inspection under Schedule 1 (other than an inspection for the purposes of a route assessment), only the higher or highest fee (as the case may be) need be paid.
Example—
If a heavy vehicle is required to be inspected for a mass and dimension authority and for the purposes of a modification or defect clearance, only the higher fee is payable.
	(6)	If, as a result of a heavy vehicle being required to be inspected for the purposes of both the Law and the Road Traffic Act 1961, an inspection fee becomes payable under both Schedule 1 and the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous) Regulations 1999, only the higher of the fees need be paid to either the Transport Department or the Central Inspection Authority (as the case may be).
Example—
If a bus is required to be inspected for the purpose of carrying passengers under section 163D of the Road Traffic Act 1961 and for the purposes of a defect clearance, only the higher fee is payable.
