Depot Fee Subsidy

Victoria's Department of Transport has announced the details of this subsidy. All BSPs that have at least one WAV in their fleet will receive this subsidy. In turn the BSPs must share this subsidy with all owners and drivers who are associated with them for the months of August, September and October. This is to be done through reduced depot/association fees.

BSPs will receive a $250 subsidy for the number of active vehicles that they had active during June 2020. This money will be paid for 3 months, representing August, September and October.

BSPs will be required to divide the total subsidy received equally amongst all active and connected drivers and vehicle owners who paid (or are due to pay) depot or association fees in August, September and October.

All BSPs have been asked for vehicle data, trip data, bank account details and more, so that eligibility can be cross-checked. You MUST COMPLETE the survey to be considered for this subsidy.  If you don’t do the survey, you won’t receive any Depot Fee subsidy.

Large BSPs have been sent and asked to sign a Funding Agreement.

Smaller BSPs will not have to sign this Agreement – but will be given written instructions from Department of Transport as to how and what they can use the funding received.
