24.01.2022 CATTLE producers will soon no longer have to worry about the troublesome process of providing the registration numbers of livestock transport trucks on permits for Class 3 vehicles. The new regulations, which are administered by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), come into force on December 1. The requirement had been heavily criticised by industry as unnecessary red tape, reducing the flexibility in shifting livestock, affecting market access and resulting in negat...ive animal welfare outcomes. Australian Livestock and Rural Transport Association president Scott McDonald said decisions to move livestock were often made at short notice in response to seasonal conditions and rapidly shifting market values. https://www.queenslandcountrylife.com.au//troublesome-tr/
