Changes to heavy vehicle access permits

Nov 12, 2017

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and the South Australian Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) have been working collaboratively for the return of heavy vehicle access permit processing to the NHVR.

DPTI currently process intrastate Class 1 heavy vehicle access permit applications and will transition this function to the NHVR on Monday 4 December 2017.

NHVR will then process all heavy vehicle access permit applications (oversize/overmass, agricultural vehicles and special purpose vehicles) that were previously processed by DPTI for travel within South Australia.

To apply for an access permit on or after 4 December 2017, operators need to lodge applications with the NHVR using the NHVR Portal - log on to www.service.nhvr.gov.au

NHVR will be assisting operators during the transition by providing training and information sessions on how to apply for a permit with the NHVR.

For heavy vehicle operators and drivers, a webinar will be held on Monday 13 November from 11am to noon. Register here

Training on the NHVR portal will also be conducted at Whyalla and Mount Gambier. Find our more at the NHVR website
