ACT budget papers said the government would be reactivating suspended traffic cameras in 2019-20.
The estimated revenue for traffic fines in 2018-19 was $28.3 million - $1.7 million lower than the budget estimate.
But next financial year the government hopes to take in $32.5 million, with light rail construction finished on Northbourne Avenue and cameras turned back on.
