Proposed changes to Victorian Club Permit system.

Proposed Changes to the Club Permit Scheme

To all Member Clubs,

On Friday 11th June Department of Transport released a regulatory impact statement on the Road safety (Vehicles) Regulation 2021. They are seeking comment and feedback on the proposed changes. Note submissions close on Thursday 8th July.
This documentation is available for download on the Engage Victoria website. The link is https://engage.vic.gov.au/road-safety-vehicles

As part of this review some minor changes are proposed for the Club Permit Scheme.
These include

• Change the eligible age of permitted vehicles to 30 years, with some concessions for buses and military vehicles.
• Requiring evidence to accompany applications for club permits (incomplete application and renewal forms) In some cases clubs are not providing correctly completed forms to the authority.
• Providing for new penalties for offences of the operating conditions of the club permit and penalties for specific offences for logbook obligations
• Introduce a definition for a replica vehicle for the purpose of vehicle eligibility for the CPS to mean a light motor vehicle that is an individually constructed vehicle that resembles, as close as practicable, the appearance and dimensions of the equivalent production vehicle
• Adjust permit fees to see parity with full registration fees.

Electronic logbooks are being considered, but there is no suggested change
within this documentation.
Please note there may be implications for classic and historic vehicles within the other proposed changes particularly to the regulations concerning written off vehicles!
The Association was advised of minor changes proposed to be introduced to the scheme in June 2020. Subsequently all member clubs were asked for comment on these proposed changes.
We encourage our member clubs to engage with The Department of Transport in their consultation process. Please make sure your comments to the department are reasonable and respectful!

Please advise our organisation of your club’s input to the proposed changes.

There's what they're really after - always follow the money...

 

I agree but also I'd love to get an idea of how many people are abusing the system just for lower rego costs. The amount of crappy old cars with no historical significance I see running on club plates.

But this just be confirmation bias on my part.

 

I better hurry up and buy a car over 25yo while I still can

 

Totally agree John….The clubs need to put their foot down on this blatant abuse…The intent of low rego fees is they are used for events or sparingly…..

 

Fixed

 

I thought they were Anal Events …..

 

Or in the case of the GAD Bi Analy

 

I don't have a problem with insignificant cars being on CH plates, nothing wrong with the guy who has a 30 year old Hilux ute on the plates , if that's what is fun car is .

or the guy who has a 30 year old Kenworth on the plates for truck shows .

 

NSW has always been 30 years for H plate, but the parity fees are a concern NSW will follow suit. But even for NSW that works out about $2.00 per use day. Sorry still reasonable.

 

It begs the question, how long are Victorians going to put up with the current state government.?

 

What they're doing only affects a minority usually.

 

I just got an email from the SRO.

Land tax up

Stamp duty up

Payroll tax up

The 1st two the SRO comment "On expensive properties over 1.8 million WTF thats a fricking shop front window ..

 

Apparently if there was an election held today they'd win again, which is absolutely gob-smacking to the rest of us.

Only two possible reasons:

1) Victorians are incredibly stupid, or

2) The opposition is incredibly hopeless.

 

all of the above .
plus

The media are s/ scared of the ALP as its well known ask the wrong question and ya banned .

Imported 100,00s on welfare

Unions

Large public service

Massive hand outs to the bums.

And the support in the upper house of 3 flogs/losers .

 

Replace the word 'Victorians' with 'Queenslanders" and you'll be on the same page.

 

I cannot believe what an absolute joke of a treasurer we have in Queensland and how people just don’t care.


Silly signature here to annoy KIAI

 

its called handouts ,hand more out to the losers then the winners and you get elected .
