NVHR Takes over Queensland ?? Why What When ???

Why is NHVR Taking over Queensland Heavy Vehicle Compliance ??

Well the Official response from the CEO of NHVR is

"NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto OAM said the integration of Queensland into the NHVR will not only simplify compliance for drivers by providing a more unified approach to heavy vehicle regulation, but will strengthen Australia’s position as a leader in transport, safety and innovation."

“By taking the wheel in the Sunshine State, the NHVR will provide nationally consistent education and enforcement across participating jurisdictions and will undertake more complex Chain of Responsibility and primary duty investigations into duty holders across the supply chain,” Mr Petroccitto said.

“The Queensland transition is a pivotal moment in Australia’s transport landscape, and by centralising regulatory functions under one authority, we can accelerate regulatory compliance harmonisation across state borders, and drive a safer, more efficient heavy vehicle industry.”

NVHR claims their mission is to provide nationally consistent education and enforcement across participating jurisdictions and will undertake more complex Chain of Responsibility and primary duty investigations into duty holders across the supply chain.
