July 2020 Online Club Permit RenewalsVicRoads is launching new digital functionality that will enable Club Permits to be renewed online from 31 July 2020. How to renew a Club Permit online
You can renew a Club Permit online with a myVicRoads account. If you don't have myVicRoads account, go to VicRoads - Click Link Simply upload the signed renewal and make the payment. This new online service removes the need for Club Permit holders to visit a Customer Service Centre or to renew via mail. Important Information:Requirements to renew a Club Permit remains the same
The renewal must be signed by an authorised officer of the club/association to declare that the permit holder is a current member of that particular club/association. The Club Permit renewal must also be signed by the Club Permit holder. Proof of payment
When the Club Permit is renewed online, the receipt must be printed and kept with the log book they received with renewal. The receipt may need to be produced as proof of payment. Changing period of use
If the Club Permit holder wished to change the period of use from 45 dayd to 90 days or 90 days to 45 days, the renewal cannot be processed online. Paying your permit renewal online
The additional option for renewal will be available through the myVicRoads portal account from 31 July 2020. The link to set up your myVicRoads account is below - Click on link Sign up for myVicRoads
However, the club permit vehicle will only be displayed in a customer's myVicRoads account if the vehicle is associated with a client id (licence/client number). If any of the club members want to use the online renewal option and do not see the club permit vehicle in their account at the time of their renewal, they can contact VicRoads Call Centre on 13 11 71 to have it linked. As previously mentioned, the other option of renewing at a Customer Service Centre or via mail, will continue to be available. However, some of the services at the Customer Service Centres may be currently disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club permit endorsement form is to be used by the clubs to endorse a vehicle requiring renewal. The authorised club representative will need to fill in the form and forward it to the customer to attach it with their online renewal application. This form will also be available on our website. Important notice: The Monarchs Motorcycle Club does not have a printer. You will be required to print your own VicRoads form, complete the vehicle details and send with your permit renewal to the PO Box. You will also need to supply a stamped self addressed envelope. The form will be signed along with your permit and returned to you for uploading to your myVicRoads account |

Club Permit Scheme Update - (Source: Victoria Department of Transport - Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2021)
Summary paper for consultation June 2021
Proposed amendments by VicRoads are expected to be implemented October 2021. This is in align with the ten year review, and due to abuse of the permit scheme by some members and clubs.
The Department is recommending the following changes to the club permit scheme:
• Increase the age threshold for eligible vehicles from 25 years to 30 years
• Introduce a definition of replica for eligibility into the scheme. A replica is to be defined as a light motor vehicle that is an individually constructed vehicle that resembles, as close as practicable, to the appearance and dimensions of the production vehicle on which its design is based.
• Require evidence to accompany applications for club permits as requested by the Secretary to the Department of Transport
• Introduce new penalties for offences of general conditions and operating conditions of club book permit and new penalties for specific offences for log-book obligations for club permits.
Why are these changes being recommended?
As at January 2021, there are 95,053 vehicles on the club permit scheme. A number of problems have been identified in relation to the scheme:
• There is a small portion of club permit holders who are using their vintage, veteran, historic, and classic vehicles, according to VicRoads, for commercial purposes (e.g. carrying tools as part of a landscaping or gardening business or as wedding cars for hire or for tours). Some club permit holders drive their vehicles a greater number of days than permitted by their permit (e.g. more than 45-days or 90-days). The extent of this non-compliance is unknown. The current Regulations require a driver of a vehicle on the club permit scheme to complete a log-book entry for each day the vehicle is used. However, there is some non-compliance with log-book obligations.
• The Victorian club permit scheme does not align with similar schemes in other Australian states and territories. Under the current Regulations, vehicles must be 25 years or older to be eligible for the CPS in Victoria. In some other jurisdictions, vehicles are required to be 30 years or older in order to be eligible for a club permit.
• Some clubs have only 2 members who self-approve the entry of the application form before signing off and sending the form to VicRoads. Some ‘clubs’ are ‘one person’ entities. As at January 2021, 1,057 clubs have vehicles currently registered on the CPS, with 462 clubs with ten or fewer vehicles currently registered, and 72 clubs with only one vehicle registered. There have been issues in relation to the completion of such application forms.
• The current Regulations allow replicas of vintage, veteran, historic and classic vehicles to be eligible for a club permit. However, there is no definition of what a replica is in the Regulations, leaving eligibility open to interpretation. There are light motor vehicles which are being registered through the club permit scheme to obtain cheaper registration, but which are not bona-fide replicas of vehicles. A definition of ‘replica’ will make eligibility clearer and preserve the heritage of these vehicles.
The Monarchs have submitted feedback to VicRoads advising that we did not support production line replicas being eligible to participate in the scheme. Replicas have been included by some clubs despite having upgraded components, and a compliance plate identifying the vehicle as not 25 years or older. We do not have any replica vehicles on our scheme and intend to uphold this criteria for our club.
We have also expressed concern that of the 1057 CPS clubs, 462 have less than 10 members. Some clubs have only two members who self approve their applications. We have suggested that Club Permit Scheme clubs must have a minimum number of financial members, and potentially have to be associated. This would require relevant documentation and processes needing to be adhered to. It would also ensure that they are a bona fide club, and not just a club solely for financial interests. We would also like a system in place to show that a CPS club is holding meetings, and providing activities for its members and is not just a signatory for profit club for these vehicles.

INCOMPLETE CLUB PERMIT APPLICATIONS
VicRoads has been receiving an increased number of applications for club permits for which the Club permit application or Vehicle eligibility and standards declaration for Club Permit vehicles form was signed by the appropriate club official, but the permit applicant or vehicle details sections of the form were not completed. Because the form was not completed, VicRoads was unable to complete the club permit transaction.
It is of concern to VicRoads that club officials are signing applications or eligibility declarations that are incomplete and handing them back to permit applicants. Not only does this place clubs at considerable risk as incorrect or false details could be added after signature, but it also creates concern about the club’s processes and the ability of the club to uphold the integrity of the club permit scheme.
VicRoads is monitoring the submission of incomplete forms and should clubs continue to provide applications or forms that are signed but without all details being completed, the approval of clubs to participate in the club permit scheme may be revoked.
I trust clubs will ensure no further applications or forms are provided to members for submission to VicRoads without all details being completed.
