Road Transport Contractual Chain Order – Fuel Cost Recovery 2026

On 20 April 2026, an Expert Panel for the Road Transport Industry made the Road Transport Contractual Chain Order – Fuel Cost Recovery – 2026. The Order commenced operation on 21 April 2026.

The Order applies to parties within road transport contractual chains where work is performed in the road transport industry. It establishes obligations relating to the recovery of fuel costs. In accordance with Clause 4 of the Order, these obligations cease to apply if the weekly average national terminal gate price for diesel—as reported in the Australian Institute of Petroleum’s weekly diesel price report—falls below $2.00 per litre. As of 1 June 2026, the weekly average national terminal gate price for diesel was $1.946 per litre, and consequently, these obligations ceased to apply from that date.
