        (1)         The CEO must provide and issue number plates for each vehicle that is licensed under Part 2 of the Act.

        (2)         The CEO must provide and issue number plates for each authorised on‑demand rank or hail vehicle that identify the vehicle as an on‑demand rank or hail vehicle (whether by use of the word “taxi” or otherwise).

        (2A)         Number plates issued for an authorised passenger transport vehicle (other than an authorised on-demand rank or hail vehicle) may, but are not required to, identify the vehicle as a passenger transport vehicle or as a passenger transport vehicle that is used to provide a particular category of passenger transport service.

        (2B)         Number plates must not be issued identifying a vehicle as a passenger transport vehicle, or as a passenger transport vehicle that is used to provide a particular category of passenger transport service, unless —

            (a)         a passenger transport vehicle authorisation, or a passenger transport vehicle authorisation that authorises the vehicle to be operated for use in providing that category of passenger transport service, as the case requires, is in force in relation to the vehicle; or

            (b)         the vehicle is to be operated to replace a vehicle with an authorisation referred to in paragraph (a).

        (3)         Whether or not a fee or charge is payable or paid under this Part for a number plate, each number plate remains the property of the CEO.
