  • Claim Regarding Payment of Tolls Within Three
    DECISION Background 1 The complainant, Mr MR, first made a complaint to the Tolling Customer Ombudsman (TCO) on 4 April 2014, as follows:1 “I have paid a number of actual toll amounts within 3 days of the travelling on city link. No where in the terms and conditions does it state i am unable to pay the actual toll amount with a 3 day period. As a result of Citylink refusing to accept this dispute explaining this to them they are still adding additional unjustifiable charges to these initial toll amounts i have already paid. Furthermore, i have evidence to support the fact i attempted to purchase a citylink pass, however, it would not allow me to do it. What happened following your complaint to the tolling business? They have failed to answer my questions. Added further costs to tolls i have already paid and now threatening to refer to the matter to the police of which then further costs will be add, however, they can not added further costs when a matter in clearly in dispute. On a number of occasions it has taken them over 3 days to respond of which is unacceptable.” 2 The complaint was acknowledged by the TCO on 6 April 2014 and forwarded to CityLink for response. 3 On 10 April 2014 CityLink provided the TCO with copies of all correspondence between it and Mr MR. The main documents are quoted below: CityLink’s initial response to Mr MR’s complaint dated 12 March 2014: “Thank you for your recent enquiry which has been referred to Customer Resolutions.

  • Toll Roads: Issues of Building, Financing and Charging
    15 Chapter 3 Financial arrangements for toll roads 3.1 This section considers financial arrangements for building roads including contracts for future tolls and the way they are framed, negotiated and changed. According to Infrastructure Australia: …through facility-based tolling on urban motorway networks…the government competitively tenders the right to levy tolls for a fixed period (a concession) in return for the provision of infrastructure. In turn, the tolls collected reflect the cost of designing, financing, building, operating and maintaining the asset, plus a risk-weighted return to investors.1 Separating the decision to build from the method of financing 3.2 Infrastructure Australia's description suggests a private provider building the asset and then getting its money back. However, there is no necessary link between the contract to build a motorway and the tolling arrangements later. The successful takeover and operation by Transurban of several toll roads built by other companies (see the table in Chapter 2) demonstrate that the two activities can be quite separate. 3.3 Transparency would be improved if the two decisions were made separately.2 At present, it is difficult for the public to know what the relationship between tolling and investment is: One of the other things with tolling is that it's an important input in understanding the VCR [value to cost ratio] and other aspects of an economic appraisal for a candidate project. The states and territories are always very careful about the extent to which they want to share their tolling arrangements with the Commonwealth. For example, Infrastructure Australia tried a number of times, with the East West Link, to obtain information from the Victorian government on what the proposed tolling arrangements for the East West Link would be.
