EQUIPMENT THEFT (PREVENTION) ACT: SUMMARY OF CALL FOR EVIDENCE RESPONSES AND CONCLUSIONE
Detail of outcome
After analysing the evidence, the government will seek to implement forensic marking and database registration for new:
- all-terrain vehicles
- GPS units for agricultural and commercial use
Immobilisers will not be required for all-terrain vehicles because of concerns about type approval regulations.
Other large agricultural machinery will not be included in the regulations, but can be added in future if the act is effective in preventing rural theft.
