Hi all,
As none of you would know, I'm a teacher at a SSP (Special School) that caters for kids with physical disabilities and autism.
Late last year, one of our school buses went for it's rego check and they wanted to see the engineer's report for the removable seating/wheel chair tie down points that were installed in the bus years ago. Problem is - the report has gone missing from the glovebox. Kids have sticky fingers and it may have gone walkabouts with one of them. Bad place to keep it, but it seemed logical at the time.
Either way, the RTA(or whatever they are called now) have refused to issue us with a copy of the original certificate for some reason, but are saying that without it we can't get rego.
So - we are stuck with one bus instead of two and have to cut back on the social skills programs we run for our students. Without the certificate, the bus is useless and we don't know what to do next - spend big money getting all the mounting points re examined for a $4000 toyota hiace or try and fundraise the bucks for a new bus 20K+.
What I'm asking is this - if there is anyone on the NSW Central coast (or nearbyish) that would be able to help us out - it would be much appreciated. There may even be a favourable mention in a newsletter if you play your cards right 🙅
Cheers
Paul
