sch.1AA-sec.22 Inspection of heavy buses

An operator that uses a heavy bus to provide the service must, when the bus is 20 years old but before it is 21 years old, ensure a prescribed inspection entity inspects the body framework of the bus for signs of weakening caused by rust or incorrect repair. See section 5 for how to work out the age of a heavy bus. Subsection (3) applies if an operator wants to introduce a heavy bus that is at least 21 years old into service in Queensland. Before introducing the heavy bus into service in Queensland, the operator must ensure a prescribed inspection entity inspects the body framework of the bus for signs of weakening caused by rust or incorrect repair. Subsection (1) does not apply if— a prescribed inspection entity inspected the body framework of the heavy bus— when the bus was 19 years old but before it was 20 years old; and within the last 50,000km travelled by the bus; and the inspection showed that the body framework was in a satisfactory structural condition. Subsection (3) does not apply if— a prescribed inspection entity has inspected the body framework of the heavy bus— within 1 year immediately before the operator introduces the bus into service in Queensland; and within the last 50,000km travelled by the bus; and the inspection shows that the body framework is in a satisfactory structural condition. Subsections (1) to (3) do not apply if an age zero refurbishment service life extension has been obtained for the bus under part 3 and the extension is in force. An operator that uses a heavy bus to provide the service must ensure a prescribed inspection entity inspects the body framework of the bus for signs of weakening caused by rust if the bus has substantial rust that may affect the structural integrity of the bus. sch 1AA s 22 ins 2026 SL No. 4 s 37 (sch.1AA-sec.22-ssec.1) An operator that uses a heavy bus to provide the service must, when the bus is 20 years old but before it is 21 years old, ensure a prescribed inspection entity inspects the body framework of the bus for signs of weakening caused by rust or incorrect repair.
