Effluent Code Resources
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has registered the ‘Managing Effluent in the Livestock Supply Chain’ Registered Industry Code of Practice (the Effluent Code), in collaboration with the Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association (ALRTA). The Effluent Code serves as a guide to industry on what they can reasonably do in managing effluent in livestock transport.

Codes under development
In consultation with relevant industry organisations and representatives (Sponsors), the NHVR develops Registered Industry Codes of Practice to address potential safety issues or gaps relevant to a specific industry. Need information on a code we haven’t simplified yet? Reach out to our team today and see what we’re up to.
Waste and Recycling
Status: Newly Registered
CoRsafe response coming, contact
our team for more information.
-
The NHVR states this Registered Industry Code of Practice (RICP), known as the Waste and Recycling Code of Practice (Waste and Recycling Code or WRC), was developed in accordance with the Guidelines for Industry Codes of Practice under Section 705 of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
The WRC has been developed with the advice and assistance of Waste and Recycling Industry Association of Queensland (WRIQ) in association with the National Waste and Recycling Industry Council (NWRIC) and its state-based industry association affiliates. Waste Contractors and Recyclers Association of NSW (WCRA) should also be recognised for their strong contribution to developing this code.
Mobile Crane
Status: Newly Registered
-
The NHVR states the Mobile Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) is the peak industry body in Australia representing the crane industry. CICA recognised that a code of practice would help the crane industry, and the businesses they work with, to comply with the Primary Duty.
CICA and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) have worked together to develop the Crane Industry Code of Practice (Crane Code), based on input from a wide range of industry participants through public forums. A draft of this Code of Practice was released for public consultation on 15 April 2024.

Forestry Log Haulage
Status: Under Consultation
-
The NHVR states the draft Forestry Log Haulage - Industry Code of Practice identifies the risks associated with loading and transporting logs and describes equipment, procedures, training, and other methods to eliminate or minimise those risks. It includes recommendations for the minimum restraint requirements for different types of logs in different loading scenarios.
The code was developed by the Australian Forest Products Association and the Australian Forest Contractors Association with funding from the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, which is administered by the NHVR.
Grain Transport
Status: Notice of Intention
-
The NHVR states a Grain Transport ICP will make it easier for the grain industry to understand the permits and legal mass limits of the large number of configurations in the fleet. Improved accuracy of truck legal mass limits will improve safety along the grain supply chain.
A Grain Transport ICP will allow Australia’s agricultural supply chain to remain competitive by providing a legal instrument that allow trucks to load to the mass limit in a way that will protect road infrastructure and drive safety outcomes for the betterment of the industry and all road users
Wine
Status: Notice of Intention
-
The NHVR states that discussions with industry members have identified that the Master Code does not offer enough industry-specific guidance for role holders to discharge their chain of responsibility obligations. One example of this would be a grape harvest operator, who would be considered a packer under the legislation. There is limited relevant information available for a harvester on how to meet their duties. Vintage is a time critical period when heavy vehicle movement in the industry is at its highest. There is an interplay of many role holders and so information needs to be clear and concise to effect a change in industry culture.
Livestock Transport
Status: Notice of Intention
-
The NHVR states the development of clear standards and risk based mitigation measures to address roles and responsibilities of those identified in the livestock transport chain of responsibility with respect to mass management of livestock that pass through saleyard/livestock exchange, lairage and feedlot facilities.
