What is the Toll Relief Rebate Scheme?
The NSW Government’s Toll Relief Rebate Scheme was launched to reduce the cost of living pressures among motorists throughout the State. Through the scheme, motorists get to avail a 40 per cent rebate of up to $750.
As of early 2023, almost 3,000 motorists from Coogee and Maroubra have registered for the new scheme.
Liberal candidate for Coogee, Dr Kylie von Muenster said the program is great news for family budget relief, because it would mean more money for petrol, bills, groceries, new school uniforms and other costs.
“There are 2,949 motorists in the Coogee and Maroubra area who have registered to get money back in their bank accounts as a result of this scheme, and that’s great news for their hip pocket,” Dr von Muenster said.
Liberal candidate for Maroubra Bill Burst also supports the new program, emphasising how it takes the pressure off family budgets which is a key priority of the Liberal Government.
“These are real savings motorists can make on the Service NSW website that leaves more money for the family budget,” Mr Burst said.
How to Claim Your Rebate
The scheme applies to NSW residents who spend more than $375 a year on tolls. It will be available for toll expenditure between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2024.
Applicants should also drive a NSW registered vehicle, a NSW personal toll account (E-Toll or Transurban Linkt), or have their licence plate(s) linked to their personal toll account.
