The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) in consultation
with local councils in New South Wales commenced the planning for the return of heavy vehicle permit processing to the NHVR during 2018.
From the 31 July 2019, the processing of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) permit applications for New South Wales will transfer back from RMS and local councils to the NHVR.
RMS and local councils in New South Wales will continue to process Class 1 Oversize Overmass (OSOM) applications on behalf of the NHVR.
To apply for an SPV permit from 31 July 2019 for travel in New South Wales, operators will need to lodge applications with the NHVR. Prior to lodging an SPV application, operators should check the NHVR website for the updates on the latest notices for the:
- New South Wales Class 1 4-Axle & 5-Axle All Terrain Mobile Crane Mass and Dimension Exemption Notice
- New South Wales Class 1 All Terrain Mobile Crane and Dolly Combination Mass and Dimension Exemption Notice
- National Class 1 Special Purpose Vehicle Notice
