What's Inside

Seven pillars of PBS compliance, 56 things to check.

01 — Permit Register

Every NHVR permit, catalogued

Version tracking from V20 → V25 → current. Routes, mass schemes, bridge tiers and operating conditions captured at the record — not buried in the PDF.

02 — VAs & DAs

Vehicle Assessments & Design Approvals

Renumbering history preserved (VA7054 → VA8146 → VA22822). Each VA and DA linked to the assets it covers, with documents on file.

03 — Fleet Register

Prime movers, trailers and dollies

Every asset recorded with VIN, rego, ATM, axle configuration and division. The source of truth that connects the physical yard to the paperwork.

04 — Route Access

Gazetted networks and operator roads

Federal gazette notices (CYYYYG#####), state mapping across VIC, NSW, SA, QLD, permit road lists at segment level, rail crossing conditions.

05 — Expiry Tracking

Know what expires before it expires

Documented expiry dates, named owners, renewal lead-time policies (T-90, T-30). The discipline to surface the next five expiries on any working day.

06 — Document Versions

One current version, lineage intact

Superseded permits and approvals archived but findable. Changes between versions captured. Drivers and yard staff notified when conditions change.

07 — Audit Evidence

Audit-ready before the auditor arrives

Compliance packs for each PBS combination, asset-to-approval linkage, preserved change history. An audit pack you assemble in hours, not days.
