Please find enclosed a copy of the Commissions temporary exemption guidelines which are also available on our website. You have asked for an exemption from the requirement to modify your bus to make it wheelchair accessible. I understand that the bus is used for two services under contracts with Transport NSW: a school bus service for Captains Flat Primary School; and a scheduled timetabled public passenger service from Captains Flat to Queanbeyan one day per week. It appears that you are seeking this exemption until a bridge over the Molonglo River has been upgraded. In order for us to progress your application, could you please provide us with the following additional information. Please confirm which entity is applying for the exemption. If you are operating your bus service as a corporate entity in your contract with Transport NSW, please provide us with the name and ABN of that entity. How long have you been operating the bus services for Transport NSW with this bus? Please provide us with a map showing: the route of your school bus service; the bridge across the Molonglo River that is rated to 5 tonnes; the alternative route that your bus would have to take to avoid this bridge. Please provide us with copies of the documents based on your research which show that upgrading your bus to make it accessible would increase the weight of the bus above 5 tonnes. Please include details of any necessary modifications which may reduce the weight of the bus, for example some seats may need to be removed in order to comply with the Transport Standards. Please provide us with copies of your correspondence with Palerang Council about upgrading the bridge. Please provide any additional submissions and evidence you wish to make in relation to the following: any plans you have which seek to achieve the objects of the Disability Discrimination Act and the Transport Standards; any terms or conditions which further the objects of the Disability Discrimination Act and the Transport Standards that you are prepared to meet as a condition of being granted the exemption; the results of any consultations you have undertaken with people who may be affected by the proposed activity or their representative organisations; the financial or other hardship which will be incurred if the exemption is not granted. Please identify any persons or parties that you believe may have an interest in the outcome of the application. Could you please provide us with your response by 8 February 2013. Once we receive your response, the Commission will publish your application on its website and seek public comments. The Commission may seek additional information from you in relation to the exemption application. If you have any questions about the exemption process or the request for information set out above, please let me know.
