Over Dimensional/Excess Mass Vehicle Permit

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) coordinates the access of heavy vehicles to ensure a safe, efficient and sustainable road network for industry.

The NHVR facilitates a range of access applications from start to finish by liaising directly with road managers (both state and territory road authorities and local government) to manage the application process and the issue of permits.

The NHVR is not a road owner and is unable to make an access decision on the road managers behalf. Road funding and maintenance responsibilities belong with state, territory and local governments.

For new permits or to amend/cancel/renew an existing permit, you will need to submit an access application
