The cost of registering light vehicles, motorcycles, trailers, caravans and motorhomes in Queensland will drop by 20 percent on Monday 16 September.

For those who have just paid their rego, the discount will be applied to your next renewal payment, while for people with more than one vehicle, the discount will apply to all eligible vehicles between 16 September 2024 to 15 September 2025.

Member for Cook Cynthia Lui said helping households with the cost-of-living pressures was a key priority.

“The 20 percent reduction in car registration is one of the ways we are working to ease cost of living pressures in Cook,” she said.

In the Douglas Shire, where many people have a car and often a trailer, reducing registration on all light vehicles will make a meaningful difference.

“Registration will fall by around $85 a year for the average household four-cylinder vehicle,” Ms Lui said.

Queensland Premier Steven Miles said the initiative will save the 5.7 million light car owners hundreds of dollars over the 12 months – dollars that could be spent on groceries, rent, the mortgage or put into savings.
