The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has revealed it will close a vehicle inspection site in Queensland.

In a letter that was sent to industry members, the NHVR says it has decided to discontinue programmed vehicle inspection (PVI) services at its Caboolture site location at 35 Piper Street.

In a decision made in conjunction with Queensland’s Transport and Main Roads (TMR) department, the NHVR says the call comes following a comprehensive review of the provision of its inspection services around the northern parts of Brisbane and the southern Sunshine Coast.

“The decision to close the Caboolture Programmed Vehicle Inspection (PVI) site from January 1, 2026 was made in conjunction with TMR,” a NHVR spokesperson told OwnerDriver.

“Additional inspection slots have been allocated nearby at Zillmere, Maroochydore and Darra PVI sites to provide alternative options.

“All existing bookings made for dates after the closure have been rescheduled at one of the above-mentioned locations.”

The NHVR says it will be increasing the availability of bookings at these sites by more than 300 a month.
