State Plan Priority S8: Increased customer satisfaction with Government services
17-08-2007
Roads Minister Eric Roozendaal today announced major reforms to the car and light vehicle registration process which will save NSW families money and time.
The key changes, to be brought in from July 1, 2008 are:
* All new cars and light vehicles purchased in NSW will be exempt from a pink slip for five years, up from the current three-year exemption.
* All cars and light vehicles under five years old as of July 1, 2008 will also be exempt from a pink slip until they turn five years old.
* Motorists will no longer need to wait in a queue to renew their registration.
* All pink slips issued in NSW will be transmitted directly to the RTA electronically, allowing registration renewals to be done over the internet or the phone.
* Motorists will also be able to register their vehicles for shorter periods of three months or six months as well as the current one-year standard.
* Vans and utes will not need a pink slip for five years – up from the current one year exemption.
