Currently rules are made by the Minister of Transport. Rules made under transport legislation are the main type of delegated legislation in the transport portfolio.
Ordinary transport rules made by the Minister are administered by the New Zealand Transport Agency, Maritime New Zealand and the Civil Aviation Authority. Fees, charges, offences and penalties relating to transport rules are prescribed by regulations made by the Governor General.
The Minister, in annual consultation with Cabinet, sets a programme for the development of all regulations and rules in the transport sector. Cabinet considers the programme, which forms part of the annual contracts for rule development between the Secretary for Transport and the transport agencies.
