Changes to IAP/SPV permits in Queensland
Changes to current IAP SPV permits in Queensland

Members are advised that CICA has become aware of a TMR auditing process on existing permits to ensure they comply with the latest requirements. As a result some members have, and will be informed that current permit arrangements will be amended. The focus of the audit has been on permits that exceed 35 day requirements.

The processes that underpin TMR’s policy position are the road and travel conditions, outlined in s160 and s161 of the HVNL, that determine the timeframe and number of trips permitted.

TMR have provided the attached information sheets to clarify the changes. The conditions are further outlined below.

Should members have any issues please do not hesitate to contact CICA.
