The circumstances surrounding the issuing of these Jervis Bay Territory plates has not yet come to light. They are nolonger being issued. Note that for the first time the slogan has been screen printed. I guess the low volume of plates meant that an embossing die could not be justified.
Plates issued were from YZO-000 to YZO-999 made? and
YZO-000 to YZO-200 issued?.

The shape of many modern cars today preclude the satisfactory mounting of plates as the size of the plate can causes problems with air flows and fitment in general.
These plates come in pairs, the rear is the same as previously made (steel) but the front is a shorter plate of the same length (aluminium).

The difference with this plate is that two more screw holes have been provided.
This seem to have been in response to a request by manufacturers of Japanese cars as the new holes line up perfectly with the threaded holes provided on these cars. As the ACT was quickly running out of Y prefix combinations all previously unissued prefixes were used up. There was no real effort made to issue any of these in a logical sequence.

When the NTPI were making ACT plates they attempted to convert ACT to use aluminium for the base (as was the case in the Northern Territory at the time) to no avail. These plates are now the first ACT plates to use the aluminium base and the new "hot foil" process for the blue colour characters and slogan on the plate.
Plates issued were from YLX-000 to YLZ-999 and
YOI-000 to YOI-999.

The ACT answer to running out of "Y" plates was to invent more! Start all over again but change the last number to a letter. However the letters I or O are not used in the last position.
