Exemptions - oversize and overmass
The Northern Territory (NT) now uses oversize and overmass (OSOM) notices instead of 3-year permits. These notices will:
- increase productivity and efficiency in the heavy vehicle industry
- reduce duplicate regulations across NT borders
- lower compliance burdens for operators.
Key benefits include:
- allows some oversize vehicles access during peak times
- permits night travel for eligible vehicles
- reduces administrative requirements for operators.
If vehicles or loads exceed the limits specified in the notices, single trip permits are required. Read how to apply for a permit.
Responsibility
It is the drivers responsibility to:
- be fully aware of the terms, conditions, and restrictions specified in the notice
- ensure notices (digital or hardcopy) are available in the vehicle for inspections.
