For all vehicles other than skid steer loaders and bobcats the applicant must submit a written  application that includes:

  • Vehicle garaging location
  • How the vehicle will be transported from site to site, and
  • What the vehicle is being used for.

Vehicles will be licensed with the relevant conditions that strictly limit the vehicle’s use on public roads.
