Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies if a police officer arranges for a motor vehicle impounded or forfeited to the State under division 2 to be moved to a holding yard.

A police officer may sign a towing authority for the motor vehicle.

The driver of a tow truck towing the motor vehicle under a towing authority must tow the motor vehicle to—

if the police officer directs the driver to tow the motor vehicle to a particular holding yard—the holding yard; or

if paragraph (a) does not apply—the holding yard to which the driver ordinarily tows motor vehicles.

In this section—towing authority, in relation to a motor vehicle, means a document that states that a particular person is authorised to tow the vehicle.
