How do I register a C/T in NSW if I have bought in QLD, if I'm still in Qld?

Graham,

He want to register a QLD plated Camper in NSW while in QLD. Not renew a current registration.

Graham,

Have a read of Oversized Caravan and this registration problem he is having.

Tony

You are quite right, I spent my 50 cents and was told the trailer had to be in NSW and blue slip etc.

They suggested I talk to QLD RTA and get the rego extended!

I will pop around there in a while and see what can be done.

hi
wa is fairly strick when i came home from the east with my new vw golf with qld plates and a camper trailer with sa plates this was in may/2005

they treated both like they had never been registered before even though neither had expired and were legal to drive and tow if i was only visiting w.a you have 3 months to change over

but because they were being transfered to wa rego
i was charged an inspection fee for both
no wonder they call w.a the police state

Quite possibly you will be able to get a short term registration.
Cars can be registered for just 6 months so probably the CT can be registered for the period.

I bought a Landcruiser in Qland and brought it to WA. No bother what so ever.
A $56 inspection fee, refund of all Qland rego pro rata, and the stamp duty in Qland was about $3K less than WA. So ahead on all counts.

Mazcan you would have saved thousands in stamp duty also.

Boo boo, just extend the rego, it will be refunded anyway when you hand in the plates.

hi
fisho64
apples with apples fisho the LC value is a lot higher than a golf deisel h/back i saved
$1250
the vehicle inspector i struck here only got the job 2 days before i went in and
he was very efficious and grumpy the c/trl was registered in adelaide where he came from
and yet he nearly wasnt going to pass it as in his opinion the rear lights were to close together i said fair go your state passed it and the prevous sa owner had driven all around w.a on a big tour with it as such so whats the problem
had to be carefull he was one of those that i very quickly realised that one wrong word would create a brickwall
but put it down to just another experience i lifes journey !!

but like most of us know a nationally affiliated licensing sytem would cure all this

and then he bitched about vw putting the VIN plate in the boot yes thats right in the boot ?
on the floor is where it is - lol - and i said mate i bought it i did'nt make it
you;ll have to ask the germans why it"s in the boot

Boo Boo, you'll need a recent weighbridge ticket to take to the blue slip issuer.
Last two caravans I bought came from S.A. and Vic, and both times I had to get a weighbridge ticket for the people that did the blue slip.
I took everything out that I possibly could before weighing, including empty water tanks, in order to get the weight of the empty van at or under the Aggregate Trailer Mass as shown on the compliance plate.
They also checked the load rating of the tyres to make sure they allow for the Gross Trailer Mass as shown on the compliance plate.
Bit of a pain, but weigh ticket only about $15 and blue slip about $45, here in Cessnock.
If ya already know that mate, sorry for telling you how to suck eggs LOL LOL

Cheers from Fred.

In answer to MAzcann Barry.

I Traded my QLD registerered caravan in Geraldton on SEPT 1st.

There were three options

Trade it with plates on and it needed a QLD roadworthy.

Take plates off and it is no longer a vehicle but dealer would have to get it inspected and I would have to pay for any discrepencies.

The easiest way was to take plates in to Roads in WA Get a receipt for them and send to QLD for refund of rego.

Register van in my name in WA Several types including vans can be changed over WITHOUT INSPECTION.

Took about 10 mins and then just had to sign form with dealer.


The original poster should just extend in 6 month regos and do it when he gets home.

hi graham h

i rang rta as they were called in those days 2005 and they had new staff 3 phones and got 3 different version
on what to do and then struck a new inspector as well talk about brickwalls but that"s bunghole ( bunbury ) all over
they are now called " department of planning and infrastructure"

Yep that they are but I couldnt remember when i replied.

I also couldnt find them in Geraldton due to the pompous name and after

driving past the building about 5 times I asked at the info centre and found it

Seems you can change a lot of regos over without inspection nowdays,

things must have changed a bit since you did it.

Cheers

We are in Bunbury today

Just to correct a minor point, the Department for Planning and Infrastructure was an instrument of the previous Labor govt here in WA.
Colloqually it was refered to as the Dept for Everything.

Once the current Lib Govt had used up all the leftover Stationery etc with DPI all over it, the Dept name reverted to the Department of Transport.

If you have any new dealings the paperwork will say Dept of Transport.

Disco.

Whatever but the building still has Dept of Everything on it.
Or it did on 1st Sept

Also the receipt I have for the new van registered on Sept 1st is headed as follows

Goverment of WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Department for Planning and Infrastructure.

ABN 40 996 710 314

New Registration Receipt

ETC ETC
