Motorists can begin claiming their toll cap cash back from today, with an average $134 available to eligible toll account holders who have spent more than $60 in tolls in any week since January 1.
From today, eligible customers can visit the toll relief section of the Service NSW website and link their toll account with their Service NSW account to make a claim.
Western Sydney motorists stand to receive most back under the NSW Government’s $60 toll cap, with Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, Greystanes, Marsden Park and Moorebank the suburbs with the highest number of potential claimants on the scheme.
Overall, there are 350,000 toll account holders entitled to a rebate after the first three months of the $60 toll cap being in place.
Approximately $46.8 million is eligible to be claimed after the first quarterly period.
Drivers who spend on average $200 per week on tolls will receive approximately $7280 in rebates each year.
Data shows the Government is getting cost-of-living assistance to where it is needed most, with Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, Greystanes, Marsden Park and Moorebank making up the top five suburbs for toll account holders eligible to claim toll relief.
Some suburbs have fewer eligible claims but a higher average rebate per account. They include Lakemba ($309), Auburn ($266), Bankstown ($235), Rosehill ($232) and Villawood ($227).
To be eligible, a motorist must:
- Be a NSW resident.
- Hold a personal toll account with a NSW toll service provider, taking private trips on a NSW toll road, excluding those on the M5 South-West for customers registered for the M5 South-West Cashback Scheme at the same time.
- Spend more than $60 a week from their individual tag or licence plate on tolls on eligible, personal trips.
Minister for Roads John Graham said:
“We know families are doing it tough right across Sydney and NSW and the $60 toll cap is an important part of the NSW Government’s commitment to provide cost-of-living relief."
