Interstate Engineering RWC

[Tyvokka]

My built truck is engineered and certified here in NSW.

Question: Could I legally drive it to the top end in QLD? My suspension lift and tyre lift is more than legally allowed in QLD.

I'm wanting to do the Cape & Tele track obviously.

If it's legal in the state it's registered in you should be fine.

The Transport Operations (Road Use Management—Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2010 Section 105 states:

Vehicles temporarily in Queensland
(1) This section applies to a vehicle if the vehicle—

(a) does not have a garage address in Queensland or has had a garage address in Queensland for not more than 14 days; and

(b) is to be used on a road; and

(c) either—

(i) the vehicle is registered in—

(A) another State under a corresponding law to this regulation; or
(B) a foreign country under a law of the country about the registration of vehicles used on roads; or

(ii) the vehicle is not registered in a way mentioned in subparagraph (i), but may be used on a road under an authority or permit in force under a law of
another State relating to the use of unregistered vehicles, including a law relating to dealer plates.

(2) The vehicle may be used on a road if—

(a) the vehicle carries and displays all number plates and registration labels it is required to carry and display in the way required by the law—

(i) for a vehicle mentioned in subsection (1)(c)(i)—of the other State or foreign country; or
(ii) for a vehicle mentioned in subsection (1)(c)(ii)—of the other State; and

(b) for a vehicle mentioned in subsection (1)(c)(ii)—the vehicle is used under the relevant authority or permit, so far as it is capable of being applied to the use of the
vehicle outside the other State; and

(c) the vehicle is insured—

(i) for a vehicle registered in a foreign country—under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994; or
(ii) for a vehicle registered in, or used under an approval issued by, another State—under a contract of insurance made under a law of the other State similar to the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994.

(3) The owner or person in charge of the vehicle must ensure that when the vehicle is used on a road the owner or person is able to produce for inspection on demand by an authorised officer—

(a) for a vehicle registered in a foreign country—an overseas vehicle permit issued under subsection (6); or

(b) otherwise—the approval to use the vehicle under the law of the other State.

LOL. I called QLD transport last year when my brother in law was coming up in his heavily modified patrol. His was fully engineered on 35's with a total of 6in lift cut into a.tray back ute. Was told even though it had the mod plate he needed to carry the paperwork at all times and was not allowed to be staying at the same address more than 3 weeks and not allowed in QLD for more than 3 months of any year.

What's unclear? If you get pulled over and a copper tries to book you, you will have a better chance of convincing him by directing him to the regulation. Try telling him "some bloke on AusJeep said I should be right".
