The NHVR manages the access of heavy vehicles to ensure a safe, efficient and sustainable road network for industry.
The NHVR Route Planner (also known as Journey Planner) is an interactive online mapping service. It maps and displays approved routes for use by heavy vehicles.
Heavy vehicle licensing and procedures (e.g. training, tests and endorsements) are still administered by state and territory road authorities.
Road managers are responsible for consenting to access for heavy vehicles on their roads.
The Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation prescribes the size, shape and weight of a heavy vehicle and how it is loaded.
The Performance Based Standards (PBS) Scheme offers the heavy vehicle industry the potential to achieve higher productivity and safety through innovative and optimised vehicle design.
State and territory transport authorities manage and administer transactional heavy vehicle registration services, such as new registrations, renewals, changes to registration details and all matters related to the carriage of dangerous goods.
