Taxi and Hire Vehicle Industry Regulatory Review 2017

The Department of State Growth led the Tasmanian Government’s Regulatory Review of the Tasmanian Taxi and Hire Vehicle Industries (the Review). The Tasmanian Government committed to the Review in late 2015 as part of the Government’s policy for embracing the sharing economy, which has included supporting the entry to Tasmania of ride-sourcing services like Uber.
