A Consumer Price Index (CPI)-indexed toll adjustment on the Westlink M7 will take effect from 1 January 2010.

 The adjustment is in accordance with the Project Deed signed between the Westlink M7 and the NSW Roads & Traffic Authority in 2003.

 The cents per kilometre rate will increase by 0.32 of a cent from 33.35 cents to 33.67 cents.

 The maximum and minimum toll will be $6.73 and 45 cents respectively.

 Westlink M7 uses a distance-based tolling system.  For trips of less than 20 kilometres the toll is calculated on a cents per kilometre rate.  For trips of more than 20 kilometres the toll is capped at 20 kilometres.

 Tolls on Westlink M7 are adjusted quarterly in line with movements in the Consumer Price Index.
