Primary producers

Primary producers are a large client group of the Roads and Traffic Authority. The operation of agricultural vehicles and equipment is subject to special conditions.

Registration

Any vehicle that operates on NSW roads must be either:

• registered, or
• have a NSW Unregistered Vehicle Permit
• exempt from registration

An agricultural implement towed by a vehicle or trailer towed by an agricultural machine does not have to be registered. Examples of agricultural implements are irrigating equipment, augers, conveyors, harvester fronts and harvest bins. Examples of agricultural machinery are tractors and harvesters.

Registration is not required for any vehicle that is not used on any road or road related area other than for the purpose of being driven across any such road or area when travelling from or to land that is being used solely or mainly for the purpose of primary production.
