The person or, if the change is in ownership, the new owner must pay to Transport for NSW the appropriate amount of registration charges or additional registration charges forthwith or within the period specified by Transport for NSW.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units (in the case of an individual) or 100 penalty units (in the case of a corporation).
A person who is required by subclause (1) to notify Transport for NSW of any change in the construction, equipment, configuration, use or ownership of a vehicle must not authorise or permit the use of the vehicle on a road until Transport for NSW has been so notified.
