CRS incorporates 60 days personal use
The ACT’s Concessional Registration Scheme for Vintage, Veteran and Historic vehicles, including Historic Modified vehicles, and incorporating 60 days personal use, will be introduced on Monday 3rd April 2023.
Council of ACT Motor Clubs’ President, Roger Amos, said “this was major reform for both the Council and Transport Canberra and brings the territory into line with the other states. “The logbook based scheme will mean that owners of concessionally registered vehicles (CRS) will be able to use their vehicles for up to 60 days per annum for any purpose except commercial use. Use of the vehicle for Club activities is in addition to this new entitlement.”
Logbooks will be available from Access Canberra shopfronts from Wednesday 8th March for $12 each and are valid for five years.
To obtain a logbook members will be required to produce proof of ownership of the vehicle, an ACT Drivers licence and a current club membership card of a CACTMC Affiliated Club.
Non compliance with the rules of the 60-day usage system could face a fine of $750. The logbook MUST be filled out at the beginning of each journey.
A multi-day event requires an entry in the logbook for each individual day.
Updated CSR details:
The changes to ACT’s CRS are to be implemented on 3rd April 2023.
It was previously advised that log books would be available from Access Canberra offices in March, but this is not to be.
Log books will now be available from Access Canberra offices from the 3rd April – the date for implementation of the new rules.
The Logbooks will cost $12 each, are valid for five years, and are issued to each CRS vehicle individually. If you have two CRS vehicles you will need two logbooks, one for each vehicle!
To obtain a logbook you will need an ACT Driver licence and a current club membership card issued by a CACTMC Affiliated Club. Being able to produce proof of ownership/registration papers for the vehicle when collecting the logbook is also recommended.
Please note: you are not required to apply for a logbook for your CRS registered vehicle(s) immediately. You can elect to wait until your registration is due for renewal and collect the logbook then. However, if you do choose to delay, you will continue to operate under the “old” rules for CRS. The new rules (e.g. 60 days free use) will not apply until a logbook has been issued to your vehicle.
The presentation on the new CRS policy & procedures, that the CACTMC Registrar, Dave Rogers, gave at the Spanish Australian Club on Saturday 4th March is available for download from the CACTMC web site.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between CACTMC & the ACT Government is also available for download from the CACTMC web site.
