Issue

Is a safety vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of less than 4.5 tonnes travelling on a public road, for the purposes of section 41-20 of the Fuel Tax Act 2006 (FTA), when it is moving along a public road providing safety support services to a separate vehicle that is maintaining a public road?

Yes. A safety vehicle which is providing safety support services is travelling on a public road for the purposes of section 41-20 of the FTA.
