Model Amendments Regulations: Heavy Vehicles Registration — Package No. 1
The following provisions are intended to provide the basis for nationally consistent transport laws on the topics with which they deal. They do not, of themselves, have any legal effect.

These Amendments were approved by the Australian Transport Council on 7 November 2008.
4. Release of information in registration authority's register
At the end of regulation 17(7) of the Road Transport Reform (Heavy Vehicles Registration) Regulations insert –
"[Local variations – jurisdictions with their own privacy legislation may prefer to refer to the relevant equivalent provisions of that legislation rather than to the Commonwealth Act.]".
