3. Use and disclosure of your information

At Transurban, we take privacy seriously. We collect Your personal information under this agreement in order to operate our tolling system, to calculate your Linkt Pass Toll, and to improve our products and services (including by conducting surveys about Your recent experiences). If we do not do this then You may not have a valid basis to travel on CityLink and / or WGT, and You may commit an offence if You do so.  

We will share Your information with service providers and partners who We work with in connection with our business, government authorities (such as authorities responsible for the operation of roads and vehicle registration), and incident response and emergency services providers. 

We will also collect, use and disclose Your information for the purposes set out in our Transurban Privacy Policy and Transurban Credit Reporting Policy. Those documents provide further information about our management of Your personal information more generally and We encourage You to read them carefully.  In particular, those policies provide information about how You may seek access to or correction of Your personal information, about how You can make a privacy complaint (and how We will deal with such complaints), and about any circumstances in which We may disclose Your information outside Australia.

4. What to do before using CityLink and/or WGT

You must do the following if You want to buy a Linkt Pass:

  1. tell Us Your Nominated Day, the details of Your Nominated Vehicle and the type of Linkt Pass You wish to buy; and
  2. pay Us the relevant Linkt Pass Toll.


    When is Your Nominated Vehicle registered?

    We agree to register Your Nominated Vehicle on the Linkt Register:

  3. if You do the things required by clauses 4a and 4b; 
  4. if the applicable Linkt Pass limit described in clause 8 of this agreement has not been exceeded by or with respect to Your Nominated Vehicle;
  5. for the specified period of:
    • in respect of a 24 Hour CityLink Pass, 24 Hour Tulla Pass, 24 Hour WGT Pass, or 24 Hour WGT and CityLink Pass, 24 hours starting from Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day; or
    • in respect of a CityLink Weekend Pass, from Noon on Friday immediately before Your Nominated Day and expiring at Midnight on Sunday immediately after Your Nominated Day (that Nominated Day being a Saturday).

Your Linkt Pass only takes effect when Your Nominated Vehicle is actually recorded as registered on the Linkt Register by Us. If You buy Your Linkt Pass after Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day, Your Linkt Registration will be recorded as starting from:

  • the time of Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day if You purchase a 24 Hour CityLink Pass, 24 Hour Tulla Pass, 24 Hour WGT Pass, or 24 Hour WGT and CityLink Pass within 5 days of your first Trip; or
  • Noon on the Friday immediately before Your Nominated Day if You purchase a CityLink Weekend Pass.

If You purchased a  24 Hour Tulla Pass, We will only register Your Nominated Vehicle in respect of the Toll Zone on the Tulla Section.

If You purchased a:

  • 24 Hour CityLink Pass, 24 Hour Tulla Pass, 24 Hour WGT Pass, or 24 Hour WGT and CityLink Pass and Your Linkt Pass expires then Your Nominated Vehicle will no longer be registered on the Linkt Register:
  1. 24 hours after Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day; or
  2. if You do not make a Trip on Your Nominated Day, at Midnight on Your Nominated Day; or
  • CityLink Weekend Pass, then Your Linkt Pass expires at Midnight on the Sunday immediately after Your Nominated Day,

after this time We will remove Your Nominated Vehicle from the Linkt Register.

If You use CityLink and/or WGT in a Nominated Vehicle with a different Class

  1. It is Your responsibility to confirm that Your Nominated Vehicle is registered in the correct Class at all times. If You have given Us incorrect information about the Class of Your Nominated Vehicle(s) or other vehicle(s) You drive on CityLink and/or WGT, We may charge You based on the vehicle's correct Class.
  2. If Your Nominated Vehicle is modified after it is registered, You must confirm and, if appropriate, update the Class in which it is registered. If You are unsure whether Your Nominated Vehicle is registered in the correct Class, You should contact Us for assistance.

5. How Your Linkt Pass works

  1. CityLink if You bought a:
    • 24 Hour CityLink Pass or a 24 Hour WGT and CityLink Pass, for a period of 24 consecutive hours starting from the time of Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day; or
    • CityLink Weekend Pass, for a period starting at Noon on the Friday immediately before Your Nominated Day and expiring at Midnight on the Sunday immediately after Your Nominated Day; or
  2. the Tulla Section if You bought a 24 Hour Tulla Pass, for a period of 24 consecutive hours starting from the time of Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day; or
  3. WGT if You bought a 24 Hour WGT Pass or 24 Hour WGT and CityLink Pass, for a period of 24 consecutive hours starting from the time of Your first Trip on Your Nominated Day.

You understand that any other use of CityLink or WGT (including, for example, where You have purchased a 24 Hour Tulla Pass and travel on CityLink outside of the Tulla Section on Your Nominated Day) without alternative pass or account arrangements (e.g. a Visitor's Pass or Postpaid Account), may be an offence under the Act(s) (as applicable) and the owner of the Nominated Vehicle may be issued with a Toll Invoice or, if the Toll Invoice remains unpaid, an Infringement Notice. 

If You receive a Toll Invoice You agree to pay any applicable  Toll Administration Fee(s). You are also responsible for the Tolls or fees incurred by any vehicle that You drive on CityLink and/or WGT, whether or not it is a Nominated Vehicle.

A Linkt Pass only allows You to use CityLink and/or the WGT. 

Tolls on CityLink and WGT vary depending on the Class of the Nominated Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, if You travel on CityLink and/ or WGT in accordance with the terms of this agreement, the amount payable by You will be limited to the price payable for the applicable Linkt Pass based on the Class of Your Nominated Vehicle.  

Payment Card Surcharge

Where You make a payment to Us via an accepted credit card or debit card, You may be charged a Payment Card Surcharge on the amount paid.
