ACCIDENT TOWING SERVICES REGULATIONS 2019 (SR NO 139 OF 2019) - REG 22

    (1)     VicRoads may wholly or partially exempt a licence holder from having to comply with regulation 21(1) if—

        (a)     the specified depot for the licensed tow truck is located outside a controlled area; and

        (b)     VicRoads is satisfied that it would impose an unreasonable burden on the licence holder to require compliance with regulation 21(1).

    (2)     VicRoads may wholly or partially exempt a licence holder from having to comply with regulation 21(5)(b) if VicRoads is satisfied that—

        (a)     the granting of the exemption or partial exemption would improve the efficiency of the accident towing service provided by the licence holder; and

        (b)     the granting of the exemption would not unreasonably impact on the accident towing service business of another licence holder.

    (3)     An exemption under subregulation (1) or (2) must be in writing and may be subject to any conditions that VicRoads considers fit.

    (4)     Before granting an exemption under subregulation (2), VicRoads must consult with any other licence holder that VicRoads believes may be adversely affected by the decision to grant an exemption.
