The registered operator must tell the road transport authority in writing about the change as soon as possible (but within 14 days) after the change.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.
If the vehicle has been changed in a way that would incur liability for an additional fee, charge or other amount under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, the registered operator must ensure that the vehicle is not used on a road or road related area until—
the road transport authority has been told about the change in writing; and
the amount has been paid.
