Latest Concessional Code 404 update

The good news is that there will be no changes to the current DoT Concessional Vehicle Licencing Code 404.

There were a few points raised by CMC member clubs which were addressed in the linked document below from the DoT.  

DoT Clarification of Rules Nov21.pdf

Just a few notes to clarify the points raised in this document

In regard to our club, the “Run Log” is the “Impromptu Run Registration Form” which is accessible in the members area on the club website, or by using the Impromptu Run Event in the Wild Apricot for members App on your phone.

The “Identifier Labels” are the descriptive identifiers of either ‘VETERAN’, ‘VINTAGE’, ‘POST VINTAGE’, ‘INVITATION’ or ‘HISTORIC’.

All of the relevant information in regard to the Dot Code 404 rules are available on the Council of Motoring Clubs website, http://www.councilofmotoringclubs.asn.au/index.php/downloads/code-404
where you will find a link to the Code 404 Handbook V4 and other Code 404 information and forms.

Following a recommendation from a subcommittee led by our Vehicle Registrar, Dave Reid, the Executive Committee made an in principle decision to proceed to make application to the DoT to take on concessional registration code C4C within the club.

The Club has formulated a policy that addresses the extent of vehicle modification acceptable for vehicles to be placed on the Club's register. This Policy can can be found under the C4C category of Vehicle Licensing.

Essentially, the Club will not be handling Street Rod Machines, Hot Rods or other highly modified vehicles. We will only be catering for vehicles that retain their original body structure.

The Committee is pleased to advise that C4C registration is now available to members.  Please go to the vehicle Licensing section of the Home page and follow the instructions for making application for your  C4C eligible vehicle. 

A new forum has been created for members to use,
it is the  Other Motoring Activities Forum

Members can use this to advertise other Events that are either not organised by this club, or classed as a club sanctioned Event, ( a sanctioned event is one that is run by another club but is open for other clubs to attend using their 404 concessionally licensed vehicles ).

As well as opening on Wednesday mornings, the Club Mechanical workshop will now be open on the 4th Saturday of each month from 8 am to 12 noon. Why not put your car on the hoist and check it out, change the oil, grease etc. also minor repairs can be undertaken.

Bookings essential Please ring Kevin Cochrane on 0402675673 

The Spare Parts Shed located at the Clubrooms at 264 Hale Rd, Wattle Grove, will now be open on the 4th Saturday of the month from 9.00 am to 12 noon.

The idea of having the Spare Parts open on Saturdays is to make it accessible to those members who are unable to make Wednesday or before General Meeting Nights.

It is also a good excuse to take your Club Vehicle for a run.
