Victoria rolls out 20% car registration rebate and $1.04 billion road repair program

The Victorian government unveiled its 2026-27 state budget, including a 20 per cent rebate on car registration fees for motorists, providing up to $186 back as part of cost-of-living relief amid rising fuel prices and broader economic pressures.

Separately, the budget allocates $1.04 billion for a major roads program across Victoria, described as the state's largest roads blitz. The plan includes repairs to major roads and a cleanup of the Monash and Western Port freeways, aimed at improving infrastructure within the state.
