As for towing & exceeding GVM, GCM & ATM have a read of this thread:

Appears that camper trailers are possibly the biggest offender that
So they are on to this as well but appears advice & warning so far.
I'd think that a grossly overloaded vehicle, van or combination would be more of a safety concern/risk than a lifted 4WD but that's what they are currently giving out infringement/defect notices.
From my travels there are more overloaded vehicle/vans on the roads than big lift 4WDs..Maybe the horse has bolted and there are too many caravanners out there and an all out blitz would severely dent the income of small outback towns who rely on them...Put them off the road and a lot of towns will certainly hurt...Lifted 4WDs probably won't have a similar economic effect but the Gov coffers would benefit just like QLD stands to make something like $540million from speeding fines alone this coming year...Is there a message in this??

To me its the restriction to factory tyre size that is going to bite most of us.
Shorely a modern 4wd with 33" tyres is safer then a pre ESC with the same size tyres?
If this law stays then I can see older, less safe 4wd's being the choice of the enthusiast and ESC equipped 4wd's loosing resale value bar the factory specials like the Raptor or the 1500 Ram with their factory 33" rubber.

Latest news from QLD
CONFIRMATION OF CHANGES EFFECTIVE TOMORROW 26TH OCTOBER
Dear Stakeholders,
The Minister for Transport and Main Roads has today announced the approved amended LS9 and LS10 codes under the Queensland Code of Practice (QCOP), that includes updated rules governing lift requirements, the new codes come into effect from tomorrow 26 October 2018.
I have attached the final version of the LS9 and LS10 codes which details the requirements and now form part of the amended QCOP. I will also provide a quick summary of the major changes below.
Under the changes, the maximum lift height has increased from 125mm to 150mm with certification. Consistent with rules that apply in the National Code of Practice (NCOP), internal lift limits have also been set at 75mm suspension lift (an increase from the previous rules of 50mm), 25mm tyres and 50 body blocks for a total of 150mm. As has always been the case, TMR will continue to consider lifts above these limits on application directly to the department.
Vehicles with electronic stability control (ESC) can now also be lifted up to 75mm (50mm suspension + 25mm tyres) without certification. This is in line with rules that apply in New South Wales and Victoria, and exceed the requirements that apply in the NCOP. This means, regardless of whether a vehicle has ESC or not, the same rules apply for lifts up to 75mm.
I have also attached an updated version of the Vehicle Standards Instructions: Minor Modifications document which provides a brief outline of the rules specified in the QCOP. A simple Fact Sheet detailing the vehicle lift changes has also been prepared, this is designed as a quick guide for yourselves, but also customers of your businesses for those selling or fitting lift equipment/parts.
All documents will also be available on the TMR website from later today.
