VicRoads Club Permit Scheme
The Victorian Club Permit Scheme is a log book based permit scheme that allows motoring enthusiasts to enjoy 45 or 90 days occasional use of historic and classic vehicles. The CPS enables VicRoads to issue permits to financial members of approved motoring clubs to drive cars, which comply with the relevant standards.
The Rover Car Club of Australia Inc is an approved club under the scheme and financial members may apply to have their eligible vehicles included in the scheme.
RCCA requirements for processing a Scheme Application are as follows:
- Club permit application (from VicRoads)
- Eligibility and standards declaration (from VicRoads)
- Valid certificate of roadworthiness (owner to supply)
- Copy of Club Permit Scheme Handbook (from RCCA)
- New permit holders must send a copy to the Club Permit Administrator of the new number plate paperwork when issued by VicRoads
- New permit holders must provide a series of snap shots, front, rear, side (door open) and of chassis/ID/ADR plate
- Note that for modified vehicles new guidelines VSI 33 (VicRoads) describe permitted changes for pre 1969 categories and VSI 8 describes modifications beyond VSI 33 that require inspection by a VicRoads certified engineer
- All relevant documentation needs to be sighted and signed by an approved Club Officer.
- For a Club Permit Scheme vehicle to be legal, the permit holder must continue to be a financial member of RCCA
