Use of vehicles on Club plates ? your responsibilities...

Through the ROC, members are able to access `club' plates for the registration of eligible vehicles in NSW and the ACT. Each scheme is different and members should familiarise themselves with the requirements for participation. Links to the schemes are provided below, and information is also available on the Club website. A reminder for users of the NSW 60 day log book: (1) ? if the vehicle is for personal use, complete the log book before commencing your journey; (2) ? if attending a Club event, carry with you printed evidence of the event; and (3) ? ensure that your Certificate of Approved Operations and evidence of current Club membership is with you in your car.

As NSW eases lockdown restrictions, we are advised that `all Service Centres are back to business as usual'.
