From Thursday 3 April 2025, oversize and overmass (OSOM) notices will be introduced. The Northern Territory (NT) now uses oversize and overmass (OSOM) notices instead of 3-year permits. These notices will promote OSOM cross border access by allowing eligible vehicles to:
* travel at night * * have OS access during peak times* * no longer require a 3-year permit.*
Eligible vehicles are those that meet dimension and vehicle type requirement, as per the notices. For more information, call the permits officer on 08 8951 5263.
These notices will: increase productivity and efficiency in the heavy vehicle industry, reduce duplicate regulations across NT borders, lower compliance burdens for operators.
Key benefits include: allows some oversize vehicles access during peak times, permits night travel for eligible vehicles, reduces administrative requirements for operators.
