NHVR takes over in NSW

From August 1, the NHVR will be providing heavy vehicle on-road compliance and enforcement services in NSW.

While drivers will see a new uniforms and badges, they will receive the same services and support, and have to meet the same safety requirements as they have in the past.

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto the NHVR will deliver services from the more than 200 existing Heavy Vehicle Inspection Stations, safety stations and on-road enforcement sites across NSW. Transport for NSW will continue to provide a number of other important heavy vehicle services, including licensing, registration and tow truck investigations.

“I’m also pleased to welcome 310 Transport for NSW staff who will continue to serve and support the heavy vehicle industry. I’ve had the chance to meet many of those staff over the past few months and I look forward to working with them going forward,” Mr Petroccitto said.

“This transition is another important step in a national reform program to build a single, consistent national regulator for the heavy vehicle industry. Heavy vehicle safety and productivity is vital for Australia’s economy and delivering consistent and borderless regulation of heavy vehicles will improve consistency for operators,” he added.
