Part 1—Preliminary 1—Short title These regulations may be cited as the Motor Vehicles (Accident Towing Roster Scheme) Regulations 2015. 3—Interpretation In these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears— accident towing roster or roster means an accident towing roster prepared by the Registrar under Part 2; accident towing roster scheme or scheme means the accident towing roster scheme continued in existence by Schedule 4 Part 2 clause 3; Act means the Motor Vehicles Act 1959; council has the same meaning as in the Local Government Act 1999; designated police communications centre means a police communications centre designated for the purposes of these regulations by the Commissioner of Police from time to time; fee notice has the same meaning as in the Legislation (Fees) Act 2019; position on a roster includes the position originally granted by the Registrar on a roster and any renewal or re‑grant of position; storage area means premises, or a part of premises, set aside for the storage of vehicles that have been towed in compliance with an accident towing direction. 4—Definition of declared area The areas specified in Schedule 1 are within the declared area for the purposes of the definition of declared area in section 5(1) of the Act. 5—Division of declared area into zones The Registrar may, by notice in the Gazette— (a) declare that the declared area is divided into specified zones (which may, without limitation, include 1 or more zones for general accident towing and 1 or more zones for heavy vehicle accident towing); and (b) vary or revoke a declaration under paragraph (a). Part 2—Accident towing roster scheme 6—Functions of Registrar The Registrar is responsible for the administration of the accident towing roster scheme. 7—Functions of Commissioner of Police The Commissioner of Police is responsible— (a) for receiving all requests for the services of a towtruck for any purpose related to the recovery or towing of a vehicle at or from the scene of an accident occurring within the declared area; and (b) for the giving of all accident towing directions under the Act. 8—Rosters (1) The Registrar is responsible for preparing a roster for each zone into which the declared area is divided. (2) A roster will— (a) be in a form determined by the Minister; and (b) contain the following information: (i) the names and contact telephone numbers of the towtruck operators and towtrucks in the roster; (ii) any other information that the Registrar considers necessary. (3) The Registrar must endorse on any heavy vehicle accident towing roster, recognition of a contract between the owner of heavy vehicles and a towtruck operator for the towing of that owner's heavy vehicles. (4) A roster comes into force at 0001 hours on the first day of the commencement period nominated by the Registrar for that roster and remains in force until 2400 hours on the day nominated by the Registrar. (5) A person must not at any time alter, or change in any manner, a roster or roster form without the express permission of the Registrar or an officer appointed under section 7 of the Act and authorised by the Registrar to so act.
