VICTORIAN CLUB PERMIT SCHEME
VicRoads has received a number of enquiries recently concerning the use of vehicles issued with Club Permits operating outside of the conditions of the Club Permit Scheme. The following information is provided for the interest of motoring club members.

The Club Permit Scheme allows the members of VicRoads approved clubs to use their vehicles for a low cost that reflects the limited use of their vehicles.

Vehicles issued with Club Permits can only be used on a highway in connection with official activities organised by or under the auspices of an approved club, and in preparing the vehicle for such club activities. There is also a provision for a club to issue a 'Special Use Authorisation' so that members can use their vehicles for 'one-off' activities such as a family wedding providing there is no commercial gain associated with this use.

Any use of a vehicle issued with a Club Permit outside of these conditions can lead to the vehicle operator being issued with an infringement notice for owning or using an unregistered vehicle which carries a fine of $500.00. Furthermore, it is also an offence for a person to knowingly pay the incorrect transport accident charge.

Where a veteran, vintage or classic and historic vehicle is intended to be used beyond that permitted under the conditions associated with the Club Permit Scheme, full road registration is required under the Road Safety Act 1986.

Further information concerning the Club Permit Scheme can be obtained from your respective motoring club official. Information relating to full road registration is available from VicRoads Telephone Information Service on telephone number 13 11 71.
