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 of the Public Service that is responsible for assisting a Minister in the administration of the Act.

	(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.
