Taken from an email I received today:

Toll prices, fees and vehicle class changes

From 1 July 2010, toll prices, fees and vehicle classes will change on the Gateway, Logan and Gateway Extension motorways.

Tolls are changing in accordance with the Government's decision to introduce a new tolling structure for the motorways to facilitate a major upgrade of the southern end of the Gateway Motorway and a new, toll-free Port of Brisbane Motorway as announced by the Treasurer on 18 March 2010.

Tolls are necessary to help meet the cost of all new road infrastructure on the Queensland Motorways network, including the extension to the Gateway Upgrade Project.

From 1 July new vehicle classes will also be introduced to bring Queensland Motorways in line with other toll road operators in Queensland. Click here for comprehensive definitions of each of vehicle class.

If you are an existing tag customer and your vehicle class has changed, you do not need a new tag.

If you would like more information on these changes from 1 July, please call Queensland Motorways on 1300 55 99 40 or visit QLD Motorways
