Streamlining Licenced Motor Vehicle Dealer Forms
by Boylen
After considerable MTA advocacy efforts, Northern Territory Government’s Licenced motor vehicle dealer forms are now available online.
The new forms will make the process of completing the document and registering a sale or contract easier. In consultation with MTA, they are now finalised and available online for all dealers to download and use.
Vehicles sold by motor vehicle dealers that are not registered in the Northern Territory must meet an approved standard. This is a condition of the sale.
When a vehicle is sold by an NT licensed motor vehicle dealer, requisite forms must also be completed.
The documents are available here on the Northern Territory Government website – and will make it easier and simpler for the automotive industry to do business.
Bail Reform for Violent Offenders
New laws have passed the NT Parliament which will create a presumption against bail for violent offences involving a weapon.
The introduction of the legislation comes after the tragic death of a bottle shop worker at the hands of an individual who had been released on bail for alleged aggravated robbery and aggravated assault with a ‘bladed weapon’ last year.
The MTA welcomes this new law but acknowledges it is only one solution to a much larger issue. We are all too aware of the challenges the automotive industry may encounter with crime and anti-social behaviour.
This is why in our Budget submission to the NT Government the MTA called for more support for businesses to protect themselves in particular from property related crime.
