Car rego hike in Victorian budget

Victorian car registration and stamp duty will be increased to pay for new infrastructure spending in the upcoming state budget.

The budget measures will raise $136.8 million in 2014/15.

Treasurer Michael O'Brien said the money would be used to help fund road and transport projects.

"The $25 fee increase for motor vehicle registration amounts to less than 50 cents a week," he told reporters on Thursday.
