The Victorian Club Permit Scheme

The Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria Inc. is an approved club for all 3 categories under the club permit scheme, by Vic Roads.

Financial Members of the Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria Inc. have the opportunity to apply to register their vehicles using this scheme and enjoy the benefits including largely reduced registration costs, which can be extremely benificial to those that own more than one collectible or special vehicle fitting within the guidelines of the club permit scheme.

The Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria Inc. has now implimented its own new policy for Financial Members of our club wishing to utilise the Victorian Club Permit Scheme with their club eligible vehicles.
Managing the new CPS takes a fair bit of the CP officer’s time and to ensure the club is not abused by members joining just to have their vehicles on a ”cheap registration” we are implement a policy of members with vehicles on the C.P.S. having to attend club run events. It will also help the club grow by having a larger number of C.P.S. vehicles at club events.
Part of this policy is a declaration which must be signed and submitted to the Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria's Club Permit Officer together with the applicant's Club Permit Registration Form and other required documents. (The full list of requirements are listed below)
