For a gold coin donation, NHW Whitehorse Inc. will install anti-theft one-way screws to your vehicle and trailer. First in, first served!

If your number plates are stolen, you will need to:

▪ Report the theft to VicRoads

▪ Pay to have new number plates issued

If you keep driving without number plates, you could be fined $144 and three demerit points. Help prevent offences and avoid the inconvenience and cost of replacing your number plates. Scan the QR code for further details and to share this event with friends and family.
