Good news for vehicle owners who haven’t yet fitted High-Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) to their cars. The High Court has extended the deadline for HSRP installation until November 20, 2024, following a recent hearing.

Previously, the state government had set multiple deadlines for installing HSRPs on all motor vehicles. The latest deadline was September 14. However, no penalties were enforced over the past few days due to the ongoing court case. During today’s hearing on September 18, the court responded to pleas from advocates and decided to extend the deadline.
