The OVM permit is required for vehicles exceeding width, length or weight requirements.
The width and length requirements (i.e. oversized) are as follows:

| • | Rear overhang of load of 1.8 metres or 40% of the vehicle length, whichever is lesser. |
The weight requirements (i.e. overweight) for the respective vehicles are as follows:
