Goulburn sits on the Hume Highway, the main freight route between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. North-east of Goulburn, near Marulan, trucks travelling in both directions pass through the Marulan Heavy Vehicle Safety Station, where vehicles are screened and checked for mass, defects, fatigue and work diary compliance. Since August 2022, on-road heavy vehicle compliance in NSW has been carried out by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).
When a notice, defect or charge comes out of a roadside check or an NHVR investigation in the area, the matter can end up at Goulburn Local Court. Heavy vehicle and NHVR matters are the core of Eric’s practice. Eric defends transport businesses, directors and drivers at Goulburn Local and District Court and courts across NSW.
