Living in Perth - Owning a vehicle interstate
 

Before I trudge through pages of government department jargon, I thought I'd ask here if anyone's been in this situation before.
I live in Perth. That's where my postal and residential address is. However, I also have an apartment in Brisbane, where I spend at least half of every month.
As I'm in Brisbane more and more these days, I need to do something about transport.
I'm looking to buy a motorbike for myself and car for my Mrs and keep them over there (Brissy).
Is there anything special/different I need to do? Or is it just a matter of buying the vehicle and registering it in my name at my address in Brisbane?
Do I also need a QLD drivers license?

Cheers guys and girls.

As long as you have an address in Brisbane use that for registration. Regarding your license you are supposed to change your license when you live in a state within "6 months" (I think its 6 might be 3).

Considering that you are flying back and forth you would never be in the state for 6 months continuously.

I had issue when I was in Byron Bay when I was in the equivalent situation for a 18 month period. The local cops got to know my face and started to give me some grief over my licence until I went to the station to show them my flights back and forth over the time.

I'd suggest in Brisbane no police officer would get to know your face / car that well to notice.

Utility bills be enough for proof of address? Obviously my DL has my Perth address on it.
