Pleased to say that NT have confirmed that for next year, given that with the pandemic it hasn’t been possible for all volunteers to achieve the minimum necessary hours to qualify for a volunteer card for the coming year, new cards will be issued to any SSNTV members who were entitled to one last time, regardless of the hours worked. (Until these arrive and are distributed by the regional hub offices, old volunteer cards and parking permits will remain valid, i.e beyond the end of February)
(This is in line with the email message from Hours Sec, Gill).
There’s more info about the details of the cards’ use here
