We are pleased to announce that Skylines Australia Victoria is now an approved Car club to be registered in the Vic Roads Club Permit Scheme.
In order to implement the Club Permit for our members a few ground rules needed to be set to ensure that there is no abuse of the privilege, as any misuse will result in the entire club & its members being stripped of eligibility.
Conditions are as follows:
1. Be a SAU VIC Financial member for at least a year
2. Attence of 4 club events per year. A club event is defined as:
a. Deca
b. MS Championship
c. Show N Shine
d. Any members only events
3. No RWC required. However a club official (exec) will inspect the vehicle for:
a. occupant safety
b. pedestrian safety
c. noise
d. mechanically sound
e. suitability for vehicle to driven on the road
d. approvals will be at the discretion of the official (exec)
From VIC Roads:
Conditions of use VicRoads may suspend or cancel a permit if the permit holder fails to comply with the permit conditions or engages in conduct which threatens public safety or undermines the integrity of the permit scheme.
Club Permit vehicles can be used at any time for any purpose other than for the carriage of goods or passengers for hire or reward. Permit holders are not restricted to club sanctioned activities when using their vehicles.
The vehicle that is being driven on a valid Club Permit must be maintained in a manner which ensures that the vehicle is in a 'safe condition' for use on a highway.
A logbook must be carried in the vehicle, or on the rider (in the case of motorcycles), at all times the vehicle is in use. On each day of use, a logbook entry must be made prior to the vehicle being used (unless the vehicle is within 100 metres of the garaged address).
Ensure that the Club Permit number plate(s) and windscreen label as issued by VicRoads are correctly displayed on the vehicle at all times.
Applying for a club permit To apply for a Club permit you will need to complete a Club Permit Application form together with:
written verification by the club secretary (or person authorised by VicRoads) that the applicant for the club permit is a member of the car club
If the vehicle is recorded as a ‘Repairable’ Write Off, a Vehicle Identification Validation (VIV) Certificate is required to be issued prior to a Club Permit application being processed.
Club Permit fee - refer to Permits (Club, Rally and Unregistered Vehicle Permits)
in the case an application made in respect of a street rod, that is a vehicle modified in excess of the level prescribed in the Vehicle Standards Information No.8. (VSI8) document [PDF, 279 KB, 8pp.], a Street Rod Inspection certificate issued by any VASS Signatory [DOC. 1113KB, 7pp] authorised to undertake street rod inspections
in the case of a club historic vehicle that is not a street rod, a current certificate of roadworthiness or a letter from a scrutineer authorised by the club, stating that the vehicle is safe for use on the road
