I heard way back, that a front number plate is not offically required. It may be a pile of crap though ?

Sounds the same as my setup. I cable tied the number plate to the cross bar under the right hand headlight.
You must display a front and rear numberplate to be legal in the state of speedcameras (Oops, sorry: Victoria). Vicroads' website just states it must be clearly visable without giving a proper location - I guess this would mean on your dashboard could be legal provided it could be clearly read from outside the vehicle...?

Should have one in the front in QLD as well. The law was changed when speed cameras came in I think, know a few people who have been booked for not having them there. It is one of the reasons they bought in the slim front plate to accomodate for spoilers etc.
Johno.

Somewhere on the vicroads site it says on the frontmost part of the vehicle, nd not under the car, unless the factory locaion is there. my mustang is under the front of the car, but it needs to be at the front to be seen by the citylink toll bridges, otherwise they have to manually check the video, and get your rego from the rear of your car.

Don't think so. From Qld Transport:
If you drive on Queensland roads, your vehicle must be fitted with
official number plates. It's the law.
Legally, the characters on the number plate must be visible from 20 metres away at any point within an arc of 45 degrees from the surface of the plate, above or to either side of the vehicle. Number plates must be permanently attached to a vehicle so that when it is on level ground the plates are upright and parallel to the vehicles axles and not more than 1.3 metres above the ground.
Number plates also help to identify your vehicle and the person responsible for it in cases of a crash or theft. Number plates
can help in the swift recovery of your vehicle if stolen.
Number plates must be kept in good condition to do their job properly.
Even perfect plates have to be seen to be read.
By law, your plates
must be legible from the front and back of your vehicle.
If a tow ball is obstructing your plate, remove the tow ball when it's
not in use. If your tray is in the way, move your number plate to
where it can be easily seen.
A rear plate on a vehicle is allowed to be obscured if it is towing another registered vehicle or trailer that has its number plate/s displayed.
If a bicycle rack makes your plate hard to read, buy an accessory plate which is a smaller plate with your registration number that can be attached to the rack.
