The Queensland Government has rejected a congestion or distance tax plan on major roads in the south east.

Speculations have occurred on implementing a tax since it could increase the price the Government could acquire from the sale of Queensland Motorways.

However, the Cabinet has rejected the plan in February.

Minister Craig Wallace of Main roads told media an action for an extensive investigation into the plan is taking place already but it was not agreed upon by the cabinet so it was rejected.

He added that the Government have other plans to tackle single-point tolling and congestions in other ways.

“The Opposition will continue to try and make this matter – indeed they said they would look at distance-based tolling in their last transport plan,” he said.

“They have not – unlike the Government – ruled out distance or congestion-based trolling.”

Mr. Wallace was also tasked to look into congestion-tolling practices by other groups, but the Government later scrapped out the plan.

Still, the Opposition Transport spokeswoman Fiona Simpsons said the Government can still implement their plans on distance tolling on southeast Queensland motorways.

“Every new tax with motorists they've denied at one point and then not long into the future, they've gone and done it,” she said.

“I think people are very skeptical with this Government when it says its not going to do something like take away the fuel tax subsidy and then they do it.”
