About the scheme group
RIM HPLV Monitoring Schemes (VIC) are made available by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), Victoria, to monitor road utilisation of eligible high performance livestock vehicles (HPLV) on the Victorian road network.
The following schemes are associated with the Road Infrastructure Management (RIM) application of the National Telematics Framework:
- RIM HPLV Up to 36.5m Monitoring Scheme (VIC)
- RIM HPLV Up to 42m Monitoring Scheme (VIC).
Definitions
HPLVs are Class 3 heavy vehicle combinations that exceed 26 metres in length, are designed to move livestock, and fall outside the PBS scheme that applies to high productivity freight vehicles.
HPLV road network access in Victoria is based on meeting the reference vehicle designs and other
requirements stated in Victoria’s High Productivity Livestock Vehicle Pre-Approved Permit Information
Sheet, which is available, along with applicable content, on the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) website.
Eligibility
To participate in a RIM HPLV Monitoring Scheme, transport operators must conform with the requirements specified within an applicable Class 3 permit, available on the NHVR website. The permit describes eligible vehicles for the scheme and any characteristics of those vehicles.
| Note: Eligible HPLVs may be enrolled under either the RIM or TMA applications. For information on enrolling an eligible HPLV under the TMA application, see TMA HPLV Monitoring Schemes (VIC). |
How to enrol
Step 1 – Choose a registered or certified Application Service Provider (ASP) and assist the ASP with any information it needs to complete the enrolment process.
Step 2 – Eligible vehicles must be fitted with a telematics device or similar. The telematics device or similar will generate position records and report them to TCA. The ASP will report data records and enrolments to TCA no less frequently than monthly.

Frequently asked questions
Data generated from enrolled vehicles is sent to TCA from each ASP. Aggregated and de-identified reports are made available to Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), Victoria, and participating local governments via the Telematics Analytics Platform (TAP).
Unless required by law, TCA will destroy the telematics data it has received relating to the transport operator’s nominated vehicle(s) 12 months from its receipt of the data.
