NSW Street Rod Committee

The N.S.W. Street Rod Committee Inc. (SRC or NSWSRC) acts on behalf of all Street Rodders in N.S.W. on all matters relating to the vehicle construction and safety standards required for legal registration of Street Rods.   It is also available for consultation before and during the construction of a vehicle if required.   The term "Street Rod" implies street driven, without which we have no hobby, therefore, the basic aim of the SRC is to ensure the continuation of the scheme. The SRC is a group of publicly elected enthusiasts who give up their time to represent their fellow Street Rodders in matters relating to Street Rod construction and safety. The SRC is recognised by the RMS as the body representing Street Rodders in N.S.W.   This recognition has developed out of a continuing liaison between these bodies and the former Department of Motor Transport (DMT) and RTA since 1972. Street Rod Registration was first introduced in 1977 and was developed to enable street rods, most of which would have been classified as Individually Constructed Vehicles (ICV), to be driven on roads or road related areas through the Un-registered Vehicle Permit (UVP) system.  The Street Rod Committee administer the issue of Street Rod Permits. The NSWSRC has been acting as the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the Australian Street Rod Federation (ASRF), since the start of the ASRF in 1974.

• The New South Wales Street Rod Committee was formed in 1972 for liaison with the Department of Motor Transport (DMT). This was as a result of serious registration difficulties at that time.
• Street Rod Registration (Unregistered Vehicle Permit {UVP} scheme) was introduced in 1977. The Street Rod Committee under the direction of the DMT had Street Rod number plates manufactured and administered the scheme.
• The RTA introduced the Conditional Registration Scheme in 20 May 2002 as a replacement to the UVPs. The Conditional Registration incorporated: items of plant, Historic Vehicles, Recreational Vehicles and Street Rods. 
• The NSW Street Rod Committee, acting as the TAC, has the delegated authority of the Australian Street Rod Federation to represent the interests of NSW Street Rodders in dealings with the NSW Transport Roads and Maritime on registration matters and vehicle construction and safety standards for Street Rods in NSW since 1974.
• Registration Requirements for Conditional Registration of Street Rods in N.S.W. was approved by NSW Transport Roads & maritime Services on the 23 Aug 2013
