Clubs and members are encouraged to involve the Council's Liaison Officer in all approaches to the Transport Department on matters of concern. What is Concessional Registration? The Queensland Government offers Concessional Registration to a number of groups including pensioners and charities but the Historic Motoring Council is concerned only with Concessional Registration of historic vehicles - Special Interest Vehicles under the SIV Scheme. Through the efforts of the Historic Motoring Council a set of rules have been negotiated whereby vehicle over thirty years old pay a lower registration fee than normally registered vehicles. However there are restrictions on the use of concessionally registered vehicles.
