Queensland (QLD) - New Requirements
From 1 July 2026, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will commence a six-month transition from IAP to TMA for eligible Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). IAP is currently mandatory for many SPVs operating in Queensland.
The TMA SPV Monitoring (QLD) Scheme supports access for Category 1, 2 and 3 Class 1 Special Purpose Vehicles across the Queensland road network.
Regulatory Telematics Requirements:
- Enrolment in TMA is required for all applicable vehicles of this scheme.
Key dates and requirements
- New enrolments into IAP will cease from 1 July 2026.
- Operators are strongly encouraged to transition to TMA as early as possible.
- TMA enrolment is required for all applicable vehicles under this scheme.
- Vehicles not transitioned by 31 December 2026 will be non-compliant.
Why transition early?
- Reduce compliance risk and improve national access.
- Stay ahead of the deadline and avoid a last-minute rush before the transition period ends.
- Maintain uninterrupted road access for applicable SPVs under Queensland access requirements.
- Avoid non-compliance, as vehicles not transitioned by 31 December 2026 will longer meet access requirements.
- Simplify your regulatory telematics setup with our purpose-built telematics solution and expert support.
- Reduce costs by moving from IAP to the more cost-effective TMA options
