53  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part provides for the grant of a number of approvals to enable vehicles to satisfy the requirements of entry pathways, and for the creation and maintenance of the SEVs Register.
      Division 2 empowers the Secretary to approve a corporation as a registered automotive workshop (a RAW). Certain vehicles may be eligible for concessional RAV entry after being modified by the holder of a RAW approval (among other things). The corporation must satisfy the requirements set out in section 58 to be eligible for a RAW approval.
      Division 3 provides for the approval of Model Reports in relation to models and variants of the kinds of road vehicles set out in section 68. The Secretary may approve a Model Report if, among other things, the Secretary is satisfied that a relevant road vehicle manufactured or modified in accordance with the report would comply, or substantially comply, with the national road vehicle standards and, where applicable, certain standards determined by the Minister under section 89.
      Division 4 provides for the Secretary to approve corporations as authorised vehicle verifiers (AVVs). This instrument, or a condition of an approval, may require certain road vehicles and modifications of road vehicles to be inspected and verified by the holder of an AVV approval.
      Division 5 provides for the grant of testing facility approvals by the Secretary. The holder of a testing facility approval may test vehicles or road vehicle components (or both) for compliance with certain standards. Evidence of such testing is relevant to the grant of various approvals under this instrument.
      RAW approvals, AVV approvals and testing facility approvals each last for 5 years. Model Report approvals do not expire, but Model Reports must be kept up‑to‑date as a condition of their approval. The Secretary may impose certain conditions on such approvals on a case‑by‑case basis, while other conditions will automatically apply to all such approvals.
      Finally, Division 6 provides for the creation and maintenance of the Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicles (SEVs) Register. A vehicle that is covered by an entry on the SEVs Register may be eligible for concessional RAV entry if it meets certain further requirements under Part 3 of this instrument. A make and model, or one or more variants of a model, of a road vehicle may be entered on the SEVs Register if, among other things, the make and model, or each relevant variant, satisfies the performance, environmental, mobility, left‑hand drive, campervans and motorhomes or rarity criteria at sections 130 to 135. As a transitional measure, the Division also permits certain makes and models, or variants of models, of road vehicles on the 'SEVs List' maintained by the Department to be entered on
