Club Permit Scheme

The Victorian Club Permit scheme allows members of car clubs that are recognised by VicRoads, including TCCA, to make limited use of historic vehicles on the road network for up to 45 or 90 days per year.


Financial members of TCCA can apply for a Club Permit for 'Classic' and 'Historic' vehicles manufactured after 31 December 1930, but more than 25 years before the date of the application for a Club Permit.

  3. Vehicles submitted must be roadworthy, well presented and reflect that the owner is an enthusiast.
  4. Toyota, Lexus & Daihatsu vehicles are eligible for the Club Permit Scheme with TCCA.
  5. Hino vehicles, Japanese-manufactured motorcycles and non-Toyota vehicles will be considered on a case-by-case basis for members who are actively involved in club activities and have been members for longer than 12 months.
  6. Motorhomes or Campervans (I.E: Toyota Coaster buses) will not be considered. Small campers such as Hi-Ace and Lite-Ace are eligible.
  7. Any modifications you make to the vehicle after it has been accepted into the scheme will also need to be cleared with the Committee, to ensure the Club remains comfortable with how the car or bike is presented.
