PRICE CUT FOR CARAVAN REGISTRATION

Grey nomads, families and adventurers will benefit from a 40 per cent reduction in the cost of registering their caravans and camper trailers, following the NSW Government’s decision to ease travel costs for caravanners.

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Melinda Pavey announced the significant reduction in the motor vehicle tax for private caravan owners, which will come into effect from 1 November, 2018.

Ms Pavey said the Government recognised the need to reduce costs associated with the popular vehicles and this reduction in motor vehicle tax will allow people to spend their money on the things they love – including camping and caravanning around NSW.

“The change will apply to towed caravans and purpose-built camper trailers weighing up to 4.5 tonnes, putting a saving of up to $471 back into the pockets of hard working families across the state,” Ms Pavey said.

Customers will still be required to pay the standard NSW registration fees including the annual fee of $65. For more information, visit www.rms.nsw.gov.au.
