Hi all, just received my rego renewal for our Olympic van TARE 1600kgs / GVM 1850kgs $487.00. This is just a rip off and why hasn't something been done about it. In Victoria approx. $65.00 Queensland around $130.00
We do about 5000kms per year and these charges can not justified by the government. Any suggestions on how to get these charges reduced?
Macca70 like you I also live in NSW and I am also disgusted with what the state government charges for registration on caravans. The problem is that it doesn,t matter which side of politics is in power once a tax is imposed it will never be removed just like the 3 x 3 levy that they imposed 20 odd years ago. NSW has a larger population than either Vic or Qld yet we have fewer registered RVs - is that because people are registering them over the border ? Probably the case for some but I tend to think others especially self funded retirees are weighing up the ongoing cost of caravan ownership verses taking a different type of yearly holiday and may well be opting for the second one. The NSW government couldnt wait to make a huge deal about how much they were doing to reduce green slip costs by giving people a refund - I was so overwhemed by their generosity that I let them keep the $10 that they said I was entitled to..Don,t feel bad my rego will be a lot more than yours because I believe the weight tax is the main difference between here and the other states and mine is 700kg heavier than yours.

I was just reading an article on another caravanning website that NSW have announced that they will be dropping their caravan rego by 40% from November 1 this year does anyone know if this is correct ? Don't worry I just found this ...
Macca70, if you are like a lot of nomad and have a pension card ,in NSW you are entitled to 1 free rego. so if you have the van in your name and you partner has the other vehicle registered in their name all you pay for is 1 green slip!!!
Yes thats a fact nsw wales caravan regoes are coming down I think I read it in the Nrma booklet...they stated that the reason for it was the fact Rvs are not used as often as the average car ,there geniuss
