    Please note that the event is at the east end of James Mitchell Park, accessed of Ellam st. It is not the section of Park near Coode St. If you are coming off the Mitchell Freeway along Mends St, keep going till near the end of Mends St where it turns right for Canning Highway, bear slight left along the narrow section behind the Shell Servo and you will see Ellam st on the left near the dead end. Head along Ellam st, turn left into Lamb St and follow the Marshalling directions opposite house 3 to turn right into the park.

    Don't miss it or you will have to wait another 100 years for the next one and by then we wont have any Hydrocarbon vehicles allowed !

    The available concessional licensing categories, requirements and rules have been updated. For information on the:

    1. Veteran, Vintage, Post Vintage and Invitation Class Concession
    2. Concessions for Classics 

    Please see the Concessions Page under the Members Only section

  • 31 Mar 2021 12:54 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    The Concession for Classics scheme (C4C) is a voluntary concession which will be available to owners of vehicles manufactured prior to 1990.

    The scheme will provide a:

    • 75% reduction on the licence fee component of the vehicle licence and motor injury insurance policy (renewal);
    • significant reduction in motor injury insurance premiums;
    • maximum of 90 days vehicle use per calendar year, being

    - 60 days to participate in approved motoring club sanctioned events; and

    - 30 days for personal use (includes road testing, repair and maintenance);

    • requirement for vehicle owners to record vehicle use prior to commencing each journey in a log book (paperbased or electronic);
    • requirement to display the identifier of ‘Restricted Use’ affixed above or below the vehicle’s number plate(s) identifying that the vehicle has restricted road use.

    Note: Dutiable value is payable when a vehicle is licensed or its licence is transferred.

    To be eligible for the scheme the following criteria must be met:

    • The vehicle must be a light vehicle e.g. GVM equal to or less than 4,500 kg and must be:
      - a street rod as defined in the National Guidelines for the Construction and Modification of Street Rods in Australia; or
      - a vehicle manufactured prior to 1990
    • The vehicle licence holder must be a financial member of a DoT approved motoring club, in their own right.

    All vehicle types complying with the weight limit are eligible for concession including cars, motorbikes, trailers, caravans and street rods.

    The Club Committee will review the new scheme and how it may be applied to members benefit. Note the scheme operates alongside the Veteran, vintage, post vintage or invitational vehicle concession scheme already in operation. 

    The primary difference of this scheme being the ability to register a modified vehicle and the requirement to maintain a log book and comply with the restrictions listed above.
