Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) Historic Vehicles
Historic vehicles Registration
Background
This policy has been produced by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) in conjunction with the Council of Motor Clubs, the Council of Heritage Motor Clubs NSW,
the Old Motoring Club, the XW-XY Falcon Owners' Club, the Classic Italian Motorcycle Club and the Velocette Owners' Club.
The RTA registers historic vehicles under the Conditional Registration scheme, which provides the vehicle with limited access to the road network and Compulsory Third Party
(CTP) insurance cover. Historic vehicles registered under this scheme are exempt from the payment of stamp duty, motor vehicle tax and national charges.
Conditional registration is only an option for historic vehicles if the registered operator of the vehicle is a member of an RTA-approved Historic Vehicle Club and the vehicle's use
of the road network is restricted.
See the list of RTA-approved Historic Vehicle Clubs below (updated quarterly).
Eligibility
An historic vehicle must be 30 years of age or older as from the year of manufacture. Trailers can be registered under this scheme, provided all the requirements are met. Vehicles must be as close to original condition as possible, with NO alterations except for safety features such as seat belts and turn indicators or period accessories and options, if desired.
Vehicle roadworthiness
vehicle operating under the scheme must be declared roadworthy by:
-
A safety inspection report (pink slip) issued by an Authorised Inspection Station examiner, or A club declaration of roadworthiness (valid for 42 days) issued by a club official (a safety inspection repor
-
If the vehicle is an historic plant vehicle, a customer roadworthiness declaration must be provided
Vehicle use
Vehicles can only be used for events organised by their Club, another Club or recognised community organisations provided an official invitation has been received and documented by the Club in the official minutes, or the official 'Day Book'. Vehicles can also be used on a road or road related area for
-
Servicing within a short distance from their place of garaging
-
The inspection of the vehicle.
Conditions
Historic vehicles registered under the conditional registration scheme are subject to the following conditions of operation:
-
Registered operator must be a member of an authorised motoring club'
-
Use only in conjunction with an authorised club event or maintenance'
The name of the registered operator’s Club must be entered as a special condition. If the registered operator belongs to more than one club, the name of the primary club or both
clubs may be entered as a special condition as requested. Other conditions may be applied as required.
The Certificate of Approved Operations, detailing the conditions applicable to the operation of the vehicle, must be carried in the vehicle whenever the vehicle is used on a
road or road related area.
Loads
Historic vehicles registered under the conditional registration scheme must meet the
following requirements if carrying a load:
-
Loads cannot be carried for commercial purposes. Loads must either be the private property of the vehicle owner and/or carried as part of a club event.
-
The maximum load allowed is two thirds of the manufacturers load limit, and
Seatbelts and child restraints
Motor cars, tourers and limousines can only carry one person per seating position. Seat belts must be worn, where fitted. Drivers of historic vehicles registered under the conditional registration scheme are exempt from the requirement to fit child restraints when carrying children between 12 months and seven years of age,
provided:
-
They have written advice from an authorised engineering signatory that it is not reasonably practicable to install seatbelts and/or child restraints in the historic vehicle, and
-
This written advice is carried in the vehicle when transporting any child between 12 months and seven years of age.
All passengers under 12 months of age must be restrained in an approved child restraint
General
This policy applies to NSW and ACT Clubs listed on the RTA's database. All members must be financial members of these approved Clubs and must be NSW residents.
Vehicles registered under the scheme may operate temporarily in other States and Territories, under the same conditions as apply in NSW. Temporarily is considered to
be three months continuously.
Interstate vehicles (operating under a similar scheme in their home state/territory) may be driven in NSW if they legally comply with the rules and regulations of their
permit/registration
The Victorian “club permit scheme” allows members of car clubs (including motorcycle, trailer/caravan and machinery clubs), that are recognised by VicRoads, to make limited use of the road network in order to drive to club events, for “authorised special use” or in preparation for club events.
A club permit can be issued to the following vehicles in the following categories:
- Veteran vehicles - manufactured before 1 January 1919
- Vintage vehicles - manufactured after 31 December 1918 and before 1 January 1931
- Classic & Historic vehicles manufactured after 31 December 1930, but more than 25 years before the date of the application for a club permit.
These categories can include trailers and modified vehicles such as street rods. Vehicles which are replicas of vehicles in the above categories may also be issued with a club permit.
A club permit allows vehicles to be used:
- in connection with official activities organised by an association approved by VicRoads, such as car rallies, or in the preparation of the vehicle for such activities; or
- if authorisation for special private use has been granted.
Club Permits are issued for 12 month periods and vehicles are issued with a specific club permit number plate.
| Note: From 1 February 2011 changes will be introduced to the club permit scheme to allow club vehicles to use the road for any purpose for up to 90 or 45 days within the permit period. Further details can be found in the Revised Club Permit Scheme brochure - November 2010 [PDF 356KB]. |

The history of the Light Car Club of Australia – THE BOOK
Phillip Island to Fangio
Bob Watson, former champion rally driver and six times Vice President of the LCCA has written the complete history of this famous club, from its inception in 1924 through to its financial collapse in 1992.
The Light Car Club of Australia was Australia’s leading motor sports club for almost 70 years. Founded in 1924 by motor sport minded members of the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria, the club organised the first Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island in 1928. Another seven AGPs were run at Phillip Island before the race began to be rotated around the various states.
The name changed to the Light Car Club of Australia in 1931, and the club went on to establish the Rob Roy hill climb in 1937, run motor racing at Albert Park in the 1950s and inaugurate endurance production car racing with the Armstrong 500 races 1960-1962 at Phillip Island which morphed into the Bathurst 1000 race of today.
In 1966 the Light Car Club took over organization of motor racing at Sandown Park, and ran a further five Australian Grands Prix there. Sensational meetings were run in September 1978 when Juan Manuel Fangio drove his Silver Arrow Mercedes Benz, and in February 1982 when the Race of Champions was attended by Formula 1 world champions Jack Brabham, Alan Jones, Denny Hulme, Phil Hill, and John Surtees, and stars Stirling Moss, Chris Amon and Dan Gurney.
The club also organised the classic Alpine Rally, the BP Rally of South Eastern Australia, the Experts Trial, racing at Point Cook, Nar Nar Goon, Fishermens Bend and Ballarat and the Lakeland Hill climb. There are also chapters on the Women for Wheels track fire and rescue organization and the formation of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.
In 1984 the club won government funding to upgrade the Sandown motor race track to Formula 1 standards for a round of the Formula 1 World Championship. The politics of the track upgrade, including the failure of the Victorian Government to support the Grand Prix bid, the running of two World Endurance Championship (sports car) races which lost large amounts of money, and the reasons behind why the club was declared bankrupt in 1992 are all covered in the book.
Leading motor sport personalities Arthur Terdich, Lex Davison, Bib Stillwell, Bill Patterson, Bill and Jim Leech, Bruce Walton and Allan Moffat all served on the LCCA committee, and visitors to the clubrooms at 46 Queens Road Melbourne included Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jack Brabham, Richard Attwood and Piers Courage.
The Light Car Club of Australia was at the forefront of Australian motor sport for almost 70 years, and introduced many classic events to the calendar. This book traces the complete history of the club, and is liberally illustrated with photographs, many never before published.
