The NHVR has established the National Harmonisation Program to improve heavy vehicle regulation consistency. The key objectives of this program are to minimise the compliance burden on the heavy vehicle transport industry, reducing duplication and inconsistencies across state and territory borders.
In February 2019, the NHVR announced that it would be reviewing the Grain Harvester Management Schemes (GHMS) operating across Australia, with the exception of Western Australia who does not operate under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). There is currently a range of GHMS operating nationally, with allowances for mass and operational conditions varying significantly between states.
