Queensland regulation
This regulation tells fuel retailers at service stations what they may show on roadside price boards and when those boards must be changed relative to pump displays. It bans showing discounted sale prices on price boards and sets timing rules for updating boards when the regular price goes up or down. It applies to fuel retailers and is enforceable by fines, so retailers must change pricing displays and business processes to avoid penalties.
