We have an "approval to build" in QLD, but it doesn't lock in anything as far as I can see.
Thanks Craig,

I can't see any reason to change from the current requirement of testing requirements which really should be supplied in the first instance by the manufacturer of the kit, not the buyer. The overall objective is to have a completed vehicle which is as safe and roadworthy as possible.

Speaking of "Kits", I was browsing through an aeronautical magazine the other day and noticed that they now have 'Kit Planes' for sale. E.G. A build your own Spitfire for $45K. Who said the 'Kit' industry was on its knees?
