We at MCCA love the club permit scheme because it’s a way to keep our precious weekenders on the road without breaking the bank. If you have a car or motorbike over 25 years of age, whether it is a Mazda or not, we’d like to help you keep it on the road.
After the club permit changes made on 31st Jan 2015, we as a club have also decided to make changes to the way we deal with club permits. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to have a car/motorbike with us on the club permit scheme.
What you will need for us to put you on club permit is:
- Be a current financial member of Mazda Car Club of Australia (VICTORIA)
- A current Victorian RWC or a VASS certificate if your vehicle is modified
- Club Permit Application form (⇐click to download)
- Vehicle Eligibility and Standards Declaration for Club Permit Vehicles form (⇐click to download)
- Club Permit Induction form (⇐click to download)
- Proof of ownership
- Our club scrutineer must see the vehicle and take photos for Vic Roads record keeping requirements.
- There is a $50 admin charge for this service.
- Once your car is registered you must supply the club with the registration number and date of registration. Scanned copies of documents are required.
It is a legal requirement for us to keep photos, registration numbers, and registration dates otherwise we can lose our ability to offer club permits and everyone suffers. If you do not provide this information you may have your permit cancelled.
We would like you to have been a current member for 3 months before we accept your request for club registration request, however that can be waived with a reference from a current member with at least a year of membership. We may also waive the 3 months for special circumstances which will be voted on by the committee.
CLUB REGISTRATION RENEWALS
Renewals are also simple. There is a $50 per car renewal fee that will be waived if you have attended 3 club events during the year. At an event you attend you can either have your logbook sited and initialed by a committee member or talk to one of our committee members to have your attendance noted.
You will need to sign a RENEWAL CLUB REG form (⇐click to download)
And that is it! You are ready to go for another year!
So come and talk to us today about getting your precious vehicle put onto the club permit scheme
