The fee for an upgrade is as follows:

If the vehicle has been modified from the current COD specification to obtain an upgrade and therefore may require an inspection - $475 (incl GST)
If the vehicle has not been modified from the current COD specification to obtain an upgrade and therefore does not require an inspection - $150 (incl GST)

Applications for COD Upgrades will only be accepted from 1st January 2010.

Please allow a minimum 6 - 8 weeks for your application to be processed. Upgrades will be issued at the sole discretion of the HEC/HPBEC Chairman.
