Assessment Process
• Co ordinate the entire PBS process ourselves • Dealt with ARRB for all performance
assessments so far• ARRB extremely good• External Assessment is Expensive• Limited options in terms of providers• Standards confusing ie Tyres

Certification Process
• Time Consuming when panel decision required– out of session approvals do shorten time
• Lots of Traps for the unwary when replacing existing units
• Prior to NHVR Excellent staff at the NTC in Melbourne with excellent direct contact
• Initially NHVR has been struggling in response• No Direct contact with staff (call centre)

Inspection Process
• Vehicle inspection required before Approval • Bisitechnics in Ballarat have performed all of
these• Excellent response very good to deal with• Quickest part of the process
![Page 10: Presentation PBS – The first Five Years An operators Experience Darren Whyte - Kalari](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649ca45503460f94964b88/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Access Approval
• Must be your first call before you start!!!!!!• Varies State to State in terms of response• Time consuming – some applications have
taken up to twelve months• Customer involvement can assist• States seem more open to access in recent
times• Bridge access biggest issue• Local Councils been very responsive

Access Approval
• Two stages original approval for route then actual issuing of permit
• Permit process has been slow in Victoria ( due to staff reductions)
• IAP permits required as well when you have your permits – turnaround time good
• Limited suppliers for IAP units

How to improve
• Reduce the bottlenecks/time delays• More staff in the critical areas
– NHVR– Permit sections of state authorities
• Decrease time between panel meetings• Look at current policy of three amendments
per application being automatically referred to panel
• Continue to educate Public – They are not Monster Trucks

General Comments
• Make sure you do your homework on the unit you wish to run– Understand the units limitations and costs
• Bigger not always better!!• Understand the process and what is a game
stopper, get advice.• Overall has been a positive experience for
Kalari and one we will continue to pursue.
