Regulation 25—after subregulation (2) insert:

        (3)         A person who drives a motor vehicle, or causes a motor vehicle to stand, on a road is exempt from the operation of section 47(1) of the Act insofar as that section imposes requirements relating to the visibility and legibility of number plates, if the motor vehicle—

            (a)         is approved by the Minister for Tourism as a motor vehicle that may be driven, or caused to stand, on a road in relation to an event specified in a notice under subregulation (4); and

            (b)         is being so driven or caused to stand during the period, and in accordance with the conditions, specified in the notice.

        (4)         The Minister for Tourism may, with the concurrence of the Minister responsible for the administration of the Act, publish a notice in the Gazette—

            (a)         specifying an event; and

            (b)         specifying a period during which motor vehicles approved by the Minister for Tourism may be driven, or caused to stand, on a road in relation to the event; and

            (c)         specifying the conditions applicable to driving such a motor vehicle, or causing such a motor vehicle to stand, on a road in relation to the event.

        (5)         In any proceedings, a document purporting to be a certificate signed by the Minister for Tourism and certifying that, on a specified day, a specified motor vehicle was or was not approved as a motor vehicle that may be driven, or caused to stand, on a road in relation to an event specified in a notice under subregulation (4), is proof of the matter so certified in the absence of proof to the contrary.
