Transport Act 1983

The Transport Act 1983 was the main statute establishing government transport organisations and regulating land transport activities in the State of Victoria, Australia for 27 years from mid-1983 to mid-2010. The act was used as the vehicle for changes to transport organisational arrangements and transport regulation activities pursued by Victorian governments over that period.

The Transport Act received the royal assent on 23 June 1983 and commenced on 1 July of that year.[1] The act remained as Victoria's principal transport statute until mid-2010 when that position was taken by a new statute, the Transport Integration Act 2010. It was renamed as the Transport (Compliance and Miscellaneous) Act 1983, a title which it retains to this day.
