Buy, lease and maintain a motor vehicle fleet

Your agency's fleet manager works with you to purchase agency vehicles under the Acquisition of Passenger and Light Commercial Vehicles Common Use Arrangement (CUAPLC00617), including:

Passenger vehicles:

• Light, small, medium and large cars
• Vans and people movers

Light commercial vehicles:

• Vans
• Pick-ups
• Cab-chassis
• Sports utility vehicles (SUVs)
• Small buses 

Once acquired, we lease fleet vehicles back to you for a monthly fee. 

Throughout the lease period, you will be required to maintain the cars with servicing by contracted fleet management companies.

If you are a new fleet coordinator wishing to purchase or lease a fleet vehicle, see the fleet coordinator checklist to get started. 

This CUA is not available for the purchase of vehicles by Government employees (or any person or entity related to those employees) for their personal use, including through salary packaging or novated lease arrangements. 

There are 5 contribution rates to reflect groups of vehicles based on their operating costs. These rates are reviewed each year by the Fleet Steering Committee. The current rates are:

The contribution rates below reflect battery electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) vehicles based on their operating costs. Other hybrid vehicles have the same contribution rates as internal contribution engine (ICE) vehicles above. The rates are reviewed each year by the Fleet Steering Committee. The current rates are:

The rates above are to be applied to all GVS and SOVS arrangements, effective from the first pay period in June 2024 (pay period ending Thursday 6 June). Contribution rates will be paid at the rate applicable for the vehicle the officer is accessing. If the vehicle is replaced with a vehicle with a different contribution rate, the appropriate new contribution rate is to be paid from the date of the replacement.

As detailed in the State Fleet General Agreement, you are required to keep vehicles roadworthy and in good order, and ensure vehicles are serviced in line with manufacturer's recommendations and warranty requirements.

Climate change or global warming is an important environmental issue with the potential to impact adversely on the economy, society and environment. Integral to this area is greenhouse gas emissions.

State Fleet finances the majority of the WA government's passenger and light commercial vehicles and in 2004, initiated a program aiming to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and offset the CO2 emissions that occur.

The gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions has been achieved through a program of pursuing more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. Starting with promoting 4-cylinder vehicles, the program has been refined and now establishes a vehicle benchmark target for CO2 emission per kilometre travelled. Vehicle acquisitions are assessed against this benchmark.

We regularly call for quotations to purchase carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions from the government fleet. All carbon credits acquired are approved by the Australian Department of Climate Change
