In WA we have 2 options depending on wether car is for private use or commercial use.
1987 Ford Laser is $400 a year for private use.
1976 Holden HJ ute V8 is $475 a year private use or $556 for a year commercial use.
I whinge and bitch about it every time rego papers come but it seems to be quite a bit cheaper than you guys in the East. I shall complain no more 
so unlike qld you guys get charged on commercial or Private?
in qld its done on the amount of cylanders, and us v8 owners get raped by rego
