Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2000

If the road transport authority suspects on reasonable grounds that information in the register in relation to a registered vehicle may be inaccurate or misleading, the authority may, by written notice given to the registered operator, require the operator to provide evidence to the authority, in a stated form, about anything relevant to the registration or continued registration of the vehicle, including—

the vehicle’s identification details; and

the vehicle’s garage address; and

if the operator is an individual—the individual’s name, home address, and address for the service of notices (if any); and

if the operator is a corporation—the corporation’s name, business address, and address for the service of notices (if any); and

the vehicle’s registration charge category.

The notice may require the person to—

provide a stated document that is in the person’s possession or control for inspection; or

produce the vehicle for inspection at a stated time and place.

If a person who is required to produce a vehicle for inspection under this section asks the road transport authority for a change to the time or place stated in the notice, the authority must consider the request and may, by written notice given to the person, change the time or place in accordance with the request.

A person must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to comply with a notice given to the person under this section.
