(3) Reserved number plates become available on the open market after two years only if the fees are not paid. Special number plates become available after five years, or if the fees are not paid.

(4) There are no charges for storage, only for reservation services. Both registration reservation services provided by the Registrar are unique services which would otherwise not be available in the ACT. It is therefore appropriate to charge a premium. In the other Australian States and Territory, the registering authorities charge comparable fees for providing similar services to vehicle owners.

(6) The plates concerned are reserved for individuals and have not been released for fixing to specific vehicles. Until this is done, and since the plates are the property of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles on behalf of the ACT Government, in line with the provisions of the motor Traffic Act 1936, it is appropriate that the Registrar is responsible for their storage.
