BIA recently met with Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) and the discussion included their interest in removing the need for boat dealers to go to a TMR service centre to register a boat to a customer by allowing registration applications to be submitted by email.
If implemented, boats sold by dealers in Qld can be registered the same day if the application is emailed prior to a predetermined cut off time. Otherwise, boat registration will be processes next business day. Registration applications received after a cut of period on Friday would be processes the following Monday. If the proposed initiative is successful, MSQ intends to explore other avenues to support the registration of boats when the dealer application is received after hours or over the weekend.
BIA believes this initiative by MSQ is a genuine step in the right direction.
Members who are boat dealers in Qld are invited to vote Yes or No to this proposal above by emailing BIA Advocacy by 12 noon on Monday 28 August 2023; ensuring the email has the phrase 'Rego Solution' in the subject line.
