Point to Point Transport Commissioner, Barbara Wise, has announced that tenders for 30 Sydney taxi licences will be accepted from today.
The tender opens at 12:30pm on Tuesday 10 April and closes at 12:30pm on Tuesday 24 April. More information can be accessed at pointtopoint.nsw.gov.au
This is the second of two tenders to be released in the 2017/2018 financial year, as determined by Transport for NSW earlier this year. In November 2017, tenders were opened for 32 taxi licences in the Sydney Metropolitan area with the successful tenderers recently announced.
These licences replace existing taxi licences that were returned to Roads and Maritime Services, or that have expired. For more information, you can read the Transport for NSW 2017/18 Annual Taxi Licence Determination, or visit pointtopoint.nsw.gov.au
This latest tender follows the recent determination by Transport for NSW to release 90 replacement licences in the Sydney Metropolitan area for 2018/19. These licences are to replace licences that have expired or not been renewed and will be put to tender in July 2018.
