Draft Club Permit Scheme (TBC)

Victoria’s Club Permit scheme allows members of VicRoads approved vehicle clubs to make limited non-commercial use of eligible historic vehicles on the road network. The Morris Car Club (Victoria) Inc (“MCCV”) has been authorised by VicRoads to operate under the Club Permit scheme.

The information below explains the steps you need to follow for your vehicle to be issued with a Club Permit. Before you begin your application, visit the VicRoads website for further information regarding the Club Permit scheme.

1. Join the Club

To be eligible to get a Club Permit, and renew a Club Permit, you must at all times remain a financial member of MCCV. For information on how to become a member or to renew your membership, click here.

Note that Life Members of MCCV do not need to be financial to get and renew Club Permits for their vehicles.

2. Submit the Pre-Approval Request

Complete the “Club Permit Scheme Applicant Pre-Approval Request”. The purpose of this request is to enable the Morris Car Club (Victoria) Inc to assess the suitability of the vehicle for the Club Permit Scheme.

The images of the Front, Rear, Driver’s Side, Driving Position (side-on with the driver’s door open) and, where possible, any Identifiers such as Chassis Number and Engine Number .

The Pre-Approval Request, including the photos, must be posted to the address on the Contact Us page. A stamped self-addressed envelope is not necessary.

3. Wait for Club to Review and Respond

Upon receipt of the Pre-Approval Request, MCCV will determine whether the Applicant’s intended use of the the vehicle aligns with MCCV’s Permit Scheme policy.

If you have any doubt that your vehicle or its intended purpose may not comply with the MCCV’s policy, please contact MCCV to discuss your situation before becoming a member.

Being granted the Pre-Approval does not guarantee that MCCV will endorse your club permit application. That will be determined when MCCV assesses all the required documents for the application (with a vehicle inspection as requested by MCCV),  in steps 5 and 6 below.

MCCV’s decision whether to grant the Pre-Approval Request, will be sent to the email address specified by the Applicant on the Pre-Approval Request form in Step 2.
