Gazette notices, permits, and in some cases other laws outside of the Heavy Vehicle National Law, sometimes require third parties and other entities to be contacted and/or consulted to provide permission for travel. The following tables contain contact information for those organisations.
Whilst all care has been taken in supplying up-to-date information, the NHVR is not always notified or aware of changes. If you are aware of out-of-date information, or other organisations that should be added, please send an email to accessenquiries@nhvr.gov.au
