Affixing Number Plates
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure that number plate/s are securely affixed to:
• both the front and rear of a registered motor vehicle, no more than 1300mm from the ground;
• to the rear only of a registered motorcycle, at least 300mm from the ground; and
• to the rear only of a registered trailer.

Number Plate Visibility
The number plate/s must be affixed so that the characters are in an upright position parallel to the vehicle’s axles. The characters on the number plate must be legible and visible from a distance of 20 metres at any point within an arc of:
• 15 degrees (from the surface of the number plate) above and 45 degrees to either side of a vehicle that is less than 4.5 tonne GVM.

Edit: the way I read 'parallel to axle' is that is must be on the same plane as the axle, so can be anywhere on the front (and rear) of the vehicle, not necessarily lined up with the wheel. Obviously there are other considerations about it protruding from the vehicle, but I think as long as you can keep it flat and on the same plane its all good.
