Caravan and trailer dealers
Where dealer plates are being issued to a person dealing in caravans or trailers, an ordinary set of dealer plates as used for motor vehicles is issued. One plate is destroyed and the other is handed to the applicant.
Interstate use of dealer plates
Where a holder of dealer plates wishes to use the plates outside Western Australia, it is their responsibility to check with other states and territories to ensure the validity of such use.
Two vehicles (movement in convoy)
By agreement with the State Government Insurance Commission two vehicles may be moved on one set of Dealer Plates under the following conditions:
- The vehicles must be new
- The vehicles are being moved from a shipping wharf or railway yard to the distributor/manufacturer's premises or to an agent of the distributor/manufacturer, or a licensing centre for registration
- The vehicles are being moved from a distributor/manufacturer's premises to a dealer's premises.
- The vehicle is being moved to or from an agricultural show, agricultural field day or motor show for the purpose of being exhibited
- Each vehicle carries one plate; one on the front of the lead vehicle and the rear of the trailing vehicle.
- The vehicles must travel in close formation
The movement of agricultural machinery using dealers plates
Dealers in agricultural machinery are permitted to:
- Tow agricultural implements (not required to be registered) with unregistered tractors bearing dealer plates.
- Drive over-dimensional, unregistered, self-propelled machinery bearing dealer plates, subject to the condition of movement issued by the Hon Minister for Police (as published in Government Gazette No 111, 28 September 1990).
