What are Gazette Notices?

A Gazette Notice is an exemption granted under the Road Traffic Act. A Gazette Notice allows Restricted Access Vehicles (RAVs) to operate on approved route networks in South Australia, provided that the terms and conditions of the Notice have been met.

RAVs include long combinations vehicles such as:

  • Road Trains
  • B-Doubles
  • Car Carriers
  • Higher Mass Limits Vehicles
  • Controlled Access Buses.

A series of South Australian route networks has been assessed and approved as safe and suitable for use by RAVs. These approved route networks are published as notices in the South Australian Government Gazette, and are known as “Gazettes”.

Gazette Notices contain the:

  • Approved route networks
  • Terms and conditions for operation.

RAV drivers must comply with all conditions specified in the Gazette Notice when operating on an approved route.
