Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme

In reply to Mr BROCK (Frome) (31 May 2018).

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has advised:

1. Stage 2 is currently in the procurement phase. The scheme is yet to be introduced dependent on many factors contingent on the procurement outcomes.

2. The tender closed on 1 March 2018. Procurement is underway and once a tender is awarded, the government will be in a position to release further details. These details will include the start date of the scheme, locations where inspections will be undertaken, when these locations will become available and transition details including what vehicles will be required and by what date.

This information will be circulated through all known and available stakeholders and means, including association contacts, social media, to subscribers of Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme updates and printed on the heavy vehicle registration renewal papers.
