Special conditions apply when these vehicles have been concessionally registered

The following is a summary of the rules and conditions for Concessional Registration of Special Interest Vehicles

Special conditions apply when these vehicles have been concessionally registered. Owners must meet these requirements at the application for concessional registration and continue to comply with these conditions when using their vehicles.

What types of vehicles can participate in the scheme?
    Classic and historic vehicles at least 30 years old.
    Vintage vehicles manufactured between 1 January 1919 and 31 December 1930.
    Veteran vehicles manufactured before 1919.
    Historic ambulances and fire fighting equipment.
    Street rods (hot rods) - vehicles where the bodies and frames were manufactured before 1949, or replicas thereof.

Failing to comply with the conditions of the Special Interest Vehicle Scheme will mean your vehicle will be regarded as unregistered and therefore uninsured.

Club members who have or wish to apply for concessional registration, please note that if your membership is not renewed Queensland Transport will be notified that your membership of the JDCQ has lapsed.

Club Membership	Owners are expected to be members of a car club or association. Evidence of current membership must be provided by the club or association when applying. Where a genuine reason is provided for not meeting this condition, it may be waived by Queensland Transport.
Dating Certificate	The vehicle will need to be inspected by a club official of a car club or association to certify the vehicle was manufactured at least 30 years ago. This certificate, which must be on official club documentation, will need to be presented when applying for concessional registration.
Lighting	If the vehicle doesn't have permanent lighting, then a removable lighting system must be carried with the vehicle at all times to use when lighting is required. Carbide lights are acceptable if that type of light was originally fitted.
