AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
I hope you are sitting down . The ACT is … what ’ s the word I ’ m looking for ? Ridiculous . The fees to register a van in our capital territory are gob-smacking . And yes , they have increased further since we last reported on rego prices around the country .
1155kg - 1504kg $ 368 1505kg - 2499kg $ 525.70 2500kg - 2794kg $ 787.10 2795kg - 3054kg $ 885.20 3055kg - 3564kg $ 1040.70 3565kg - 3814kg $ 1112.30 3815kg - 4064kg $ 1190.70 4065kg - 4324kg $ 1265.70 4325kg - 4500kg $ 1342.80
As if that wasn ’ t burdensome enough , if your caravan or trailer has been unregistered for more than 12 months , you ’ ll need to have it inspected for roadworthiness .
Honestly , it ’ s as though the ACT doesn ’ t want you registering your van there at all .
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
South Australia has a fair and reasonable caravan registration system . It ’ s also simple . Registering a van up to 4500kg ATM for 12 months costs just $ 95 , though the fine print indicates that some other minor fees and charges may apply .
In any event , to pay about $ 95 per year for caravan rego doesn ’ t seem overly burdensome .
