FESA Appliance sightings

Evening All,

On the freeway home tonight saw a brand new Series 4 Scania. MPHR76 rego was 1QBA994 heading north passed the Warwick I/C under FCC in the emergency lane.

Also whilst up in Joondalup tonight also saw DM CENTRAL going FCC thru a set of TCL's.

Anyone know why some FESA appliances carry WA GOVT regos and some carry normal issue blue and white plates?

I am under the impression that the different government bodies determine the application of Govt plates... e.g. MRD has 'normal' plates for those vehicles that have private use allocated (involving fringe benefits to the employee etc) and those for business purposes only have the dedicated blue background/white number issue.

Yeah but for example some series 4 Scanias have normal issue plates.

This is now PERTH 1ST 1BWG567, gotta dig up my notes and will post details.

Perhaps age of the appliance has something to do with it?

The Series 4 Scania's have been around for a little while now..

I know when our 3.4 Urban arrived 3 years ago, it had Govt plates on it - these were quickly replaced by the local shire though !

(as for managers cars etc, they are all lease vehicles)

From what I understand all new FRS appliances should have WAG plates as they are under the control of FESA. Older FRS appliances will keep the general plates until the appliance is replaced. BFS appliances should have regular or Council plates as BFS brigades are under the 'control' of local government. Our old LP has regular plates (8** ###) but our LT, which is newer, has WAG plates (1Q** ###).

The Isuzu was likely Canning Vale's 2.4

I saw Scania Series 4 MP75 1BXF712 parked inside at FESA HQ this morning.

Didn't have one of those yellow magnetic station ID signs.

Haven't seen this one before.

Anyone know where it's from?

I have heard the type of number plates is determined by the funding for the vehicle. If FESA (WA Gov) funds an appliance it gets Gov plates. If a local govt, insurance company or local fundraising buys an appliance it is not owned by the govt so it gets private plates.

Not true. Appliances that go to Local Govt (Bush Fire Brigades) through FESA funding have private plates.

Will come down to who the registered owner of the appliance is, not necessarily where the money came from..
