VICTORIAN CLUB PERMIT SCHEME
(revised 15 September 2020)
Please read if you wish to avail yourself of the privilege of the club permit scheme in Victoria.
In Victoria, classic & historic vehicles over 25 years of age can be sponsored by registered automotive clubs to have a special club permit, rather than full registration. This privilege represents significant savings on both normal registration fees and associated insurance for our vehicles.
The Australian TYP901 Register Inc. is registered with VicRoads for the club permit scheme and its Victorian members can participate once certain criteria are met.
Background:
Here is a link to the club permit section of the VicRoads website:
https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...-permit-scheme
In Victoria, normal car registration is approx. $790 /year. Under the Club Permit registration scheme annual fees are approx. as follows:
Note: It is a condition of use to complete the log book before you drive anywhere. Non-compliance with this condition will incur a fine exceeding $700, as the vehicle is regarded as being unregistered.
Also worth noting is that the club is registered by VicRoads to certify applications for the Club Permit Scheme. Any breaches in record keeping or excessive breaches of the rules by participants may result in the club’s registration being cancelled, and consequently members would be unable to participate in the Club Permit Scheme under the banner of the Australian TYP901 Register Inc.
The current TYP901 authorised signatories to the scheme are:
PRIMARY: Clyde Boyer (President) PO Box 8284 Carrum Downs 3201
SECONDARY: Alex Webster (Club Safety Officer)
EMAIL: cps@typ901.org
Who can participate:

Eligible Vehicles:
Note that whilst the club is authorised to certify a Club Permit Application form for any eligible vehicle, our policy is that the first vehicle so registered by a member must be an early 911 (1963 to 1973).
For subsequent vehicles, other than for an early 911, it is at the discretion of committee whether or not a club permit application will be accepted. The club will only accept applications for vehicles; motorbike and commercial vehicle applications will not be considered.
It is advisable to email cps@typ901.org to obtain pre-approval prior to lodging an application for a vehicle other than an early 911.

If you make modifications or change your vehicle description, you must notify VicRoads and the modifications must comply with the standards for registration and Australian design rules.
Please click on the link hereunder which describe such modifications and VicRoads requirements.
https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...-modifications

Vehicles bought or sold whilst on club plates:
A Club Permit “registration” cannot be transferred even if vendor and purchaser are both members of the same club and both eligible for the club permit scheme. The purchaser has to re-register the car in their name, complying with all VicRoads and Club requirements.
If the purchaser registers the vehicle on a Club Permit there is NO stamp duty payable, however if taking out full registration the purchaser would incur stamp duty.
The vendor of a vehicle on club plates must also notify VicRoads of the sale of the vehicle.
Vehicles not owned by club members:
In the event that the eligible vehicle in question is not owned by the member in question (eg. the vehicle is owned by a company), the club requires a letter of confirmation/authorisation from the third party, that the member is able to register the car on behalf of the third party.

In Victoria, normal car registration is approx. $790 /year. Under the Club Permit registration scheme annual fees are approx. as follows:
- 45 day permit is ~$80 p.a (allows you to use the car 45 days a year)
- 90 day permit is ~$155 p.a (allows you to use the car 90 days a year)
- Generally, your insurance provider will have reduced premiums for club permit vehicles thus achieving significant cost savings.
- 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.
- Club Permit vehicles 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 at all times when driven on public roads. 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).
- Only one entry is required per day, not necessarily for each trip if more than one per day.
- The Club Permit number plates issued by VicRoads must be correctly displayed on the vehicle at all times.
Note: It is a condition of use to complete the log book before you drive anywhere. Non-compliance with this condition will incur a fine exceeding $700, as the vehicle is regarded as being unregistered.
