MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION No 745

Government Service - Shellcard Discount

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for Urban Services:

(1) Is a petrol discount given to the holders of a Shellcard in the

ACT Government; if so, how much per litre saving does this represent.

(2) What is the total approximate saving per annum to the Government.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) Yes. Fuel purchased with a Shellcard costs 62.2 cents per litre plus

25 cents per transaction for unleaded fuel. The 25 cents per transaction

equates approximately 0.5 cents per litre per fill, compared with the current

retail price of 74.9 cents per litre.

(2) $100,000.
