The requirement was subsequently dropped from the Victorian Road Safety Regulations proclaimed early in 1987. Maintained a database and referral service for over 550 Victorian motor vehicle clubs and over 3000 clubs Australia wide. Negotiated modification of many Municipal Council Local Laws. When they were drafted at the end of 1995 most of the Councils had included provisions requiring every householder to have a permit for the storage of second hand goods or vehicles on their own property. Most Local laws now allow for hobby activities or rely on requirements to maintain the amenity of the neighborhood.
Work still continues.
Conducted emission tests in 1992 on over 100 vehicles from the historic fleet which gave us the basis to continue discussions with legislators and others regarding the general condition of vehicles in the historic fleet. Established a good working relationship with Vic Roads management and staff. Established a network for club contact. Proposed changes to the Associations Incorporation Act in 1996 were quickly brought to the attention of clubs which were likely to be most affected. They were able to put submissions to the review panel in time for consideration.
