Note 1: The road transport legislation set out in Schedule 1 does not have the force of law (see paragraph 7(2)(a) of the NTC Act). Note 2: These Regulations must be made in accordance with the Agreement (see subparagraph 3(b)(ii) of the NTC Act). Note 3: These Regulations are not subject to disallowance—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 44(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003. Note 4: These Regulations are not subject to sunsetting—see regulations made for the purposes of paragraph 54(2)(b) of the Legislation Act 2003. Note 5: The text set out in Schedule 1 is that of the proposed Road Transport Reform (Restricted Access Vehicles) Regulations. Those proposed Regulations were prepared in the form of Regulations to be made under the Road Transport Reform (Vehicles and Traffic) Act 1993, and were approved in that form by the Ministerial Council for Road Transport on 29 September 1995, but were never actually made as Regulations. The text set out in Schedule 1 is that of those proposed Regulations as approved by the Council. It has been formatted in accordance with current drafting practice (including styles of provision numbering and cross‑referencing) but is otherwise unaltered.

Authorities may grant access by issuing a notice or granting a permit setting out the class of vehicles or combinations covered, the areas in which they may travel, and the conditions of travel. The Regulations enable routes and times to be specified for vehicles and combinations that conform to the mass and dimension limits set by the Vehicle Standards Regulations and the Mass and Loading Regulations. Road trains and B‑doubles are in this category. Provision is also made for exemptions to be granted by notice or permit for non‑conforming vehicles and combinations carrying divisible loads. However, a higher onus is required to be satisfied in such cases. The vehicles and combinations covered by the Oversize and Overmass Vehicles Regulations that are specifically excluded from these Regulations, are:  special purpose vehicles such as mobile cranes, concrete pumps and fire trucks;  vehicles and combinations including low loader and load platform combinations designed to carry or carrying large indivisible items (but excluding B‑doubles, road trains and container transport);  agricultural machines and implements. Part 1—Preliminary 1 Title These Regulations may be cited as the Road Transport Reform (Restricted Access Vehicles) Regulations. 2 Commencement (1) Regulations 1 and 2 commence on the day on which the making of these Regulations is notified in the Gazette. (2) The remaining provisions of these Regulations commence on a day or days specified by the Minister of the Commonwealth administering the Vehicles and Traffic Act, by notice in the Gazette. 3 Purposes The purposes of these Regulations are: (a) to provide uniform or consistent conditions, to be applied as part of a national scheme, under which vehicles and combinations that are too large or too heavy to be allowed general access to the road network (other than those to which the Oversize and Overmass Vehicles Regulations apply) may be permitted to travel safely and efficiently; and (b) to increase administrative efficiency by allowing: (i) classes of those vehicles and combinations to operate under a notice instead of an individual permit; and (ii) a single permit to be granted for the operation of more than one vehicle or combination. 4 Delegation The following persons are prescribed for the purposes of section 18 of the Vehicles and Traffic Act: (a) a statutory corporation; (b) the holder of a statutory office; (c) an officer or employee of a government department or statutory corporation; (d) a member of the police force; (e) a municipality or other local government authority; (f) an officer or employee of a municipality or other local government authority; (g) any other person who, in the opinion of the Authority, has appropriate qualifications for the exercise of the power delegated. 5 Application—vehicles and combinations (1) These Regulations apply to restricted access vehicles other than Class 1 vehicles.

(6) If a Class 3 notice or Class 3 permit is likely to affect road transport to, from or within another State or Territory, the Authority must consult with the corresponding Authority of that other State or Territory and must issue the notice or grant the permit only on conditions that are agreed with that corresponding Authority.

(4) The driver or operator of a Class 3 vehicle is not liable to prosecution under these Regulations, but may be liable to prosecution under the Mass and Loading Regulations or the Vehicle Standards Regulations, if the Class 3 vehicle breaks a condition of a notice or permit, or of an exemption granted under regulation 24 by travelling: (a) in an area or on a route other than an area or route in or on which it is permitted to travel under a notice or permit; or (b) at a time other than a time at which it is permitted to travel under a notice or permit; or (c) with an aggregate mass that is more than 10% in excess of the limit allowed under a notice or permit.

(2) A person who is convicted of an offence, in relation to a part of a single motor vehicle or of a combination that fails to comply with a condition, may be convicted of another offence if another part of the single motor vehicle or of the combination also fails to comply with the same or a similar condition. (3) If more than one mass limit applies to a single motor vehicle or a combination, or part of a single motor vehicle or of a combination, the lower mass limit must be complied with. 24 Exemptions in emergencies (1) In an emergency such as a fire, explosion or natural disaster (including a drought), the Authority may exempt a single motor vehicle or a combination, or its driver or operator, from a requirement of these Regulations, if the Authority is satisfied that: (a) the exemption will not result in an unreasonable danger to other road users; and (b) the single motor vehicle or the combination is being used, or is intended to be used, to protect life or property, or to restore communication or the supply of energy or water or services such as sewage disposal, or to provide drought relief.
