Hey mate,
I live in qld and had a HZ kingswood wagon which someone stole the compliance plates off. All I did is go to the wreckers, got a set of plates off them, went to the police station with an old rego paper to prove that it was registered and had all the old numbers etc etc. They then gave me a slip of paper saying I had changed compliance plates on the car, and the car wasn't stolen, rebirthed etc. Then went down to the transport department, showed them the slip of paper, they put a copy on file, noted down the new compliance numbers and all was good again. No problems selling it after that either because transport department had all the changes on record.
