"We want to know what the community thinks about these changes in terms of how they promote and improve road safety.
"We also want to consider how the revenue from speeding fines is spent as part of the ongoing funding of safety initiatives."
The inquiry said it will consider the balance between the use of mobile speed cameras and police enforcement.
It will also look at the nature of enforcement contracts between the government and the private sector.
Submissions close on July 9, 2021, and can be made here.
In February 9News reported on the skyrocketing number of fines after warning signs for the mobile cameras were removed.
Monthly fines have more than tripled since the changes were introduced, with revenue surging to a record high of almost $2.5 million in December.
By comparison, the figure was under $400,000 for the same month in the previous year.
