The Government will also ask the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to monitor car parking prices at the major airports separately from the aeronautical price monitoring regime.

Am I mistaken in thinking that SYD airport car parking rates gone up recently?

And the taxi companies are now imposing a $2.50 airport surcharge.

And it has warned that an independent review, to be carried out in 2012, could be called earlier if regulators found evidence of unjustifiable price increases or other misuse of market power at the price-monitored airports.

I can see how it going to cost more to maintain the airport car park in 5 years time so any rate increase are justifiable....
