Registration and licensing

Off road requirements quad bikes used strictly on private property do not need to be registered and their operators do not have to hold a valid drivers licence. On road requirements quad bikes used on road, even for short periods, must be registered and on road operators must hold a valid car licence (ie Learners Permits are not sufficient.) Primary producers may apply to VicRoads to register a quad bike as a Primary Producer Special Vehicle. VicRoads regulations state that Primary Producer Special Vehicles can be registered to a primary producer who only uses the vehicle in connection with his business as a primary producer, or for travel between his premises and the premises of another primary producer to carry out business. The other business must be within a radius of 25 kilometres from the residence of the vehicles operator so the vehicle can be used on the land of that primary producer.
