Implementation: Adoption of the National Automated Access System (NAAS) for low loaders in Queensland
The National Automated Access System (NAAS) will be the default road access pathway in Queensland for eligible low loader vehicles operating outside of the National Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicle Dimension Exemption Notice 2026 (No. 2) and National Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicle Mass Exemption Notice 2026 (No. 1).
NAAS is being introduced as part of a nationally consistent approach to heavy vehicle access management. The system supports a more streamlined process for managing eligible low loader access requests while maintaining road manager oversight of their networks.
Subject to final approvals, NAAS will become Queensland’s primary access pathway from late November 2026 for eligible low loader vehicles operating outside the relevant national notice.
NAAS delivers route-specific access information and travel conditions through a digital network map, helping operators quickly identify available routes and understand applicable access conditions.
What operators need to know:
- From late November 2026, subject to final approvals, NAAS is expected to become the first place to check available access for eligible low loader vehicles. We will let you know when to start using NAAS.
- If NAAS cannot provide access for an eligible movement, operators can continue to use the existing permit pathway.
- Access information and conditions displayed in NAAS are based on road manager decisions and network requirements.
What road managers need to know:
- Road managers continue to play a critical role in managing access to their networks.
- Access information and conditions reflected in NAAS are informed by road manager decisions and network requirements.
Key dates
From late November 2026, eligible low loader access requests will transition to the NAAS access pathway in Queensland.
Who is affected?
This implementation applies to operators of eligible low loader vehicles that are not operating under the National Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicle Dimension Exemption Notice 2025 (No. 2) and National Class 1 Load Carrying Vehicle Mass Exemption Notice 2025 (No. 1).
It also affects road managers responsible for assessing and managing access to their road networks.
Support, training and resources
Resources are available to help operators and road managers prepare for the transition to NAAS.
