I would have thought that too but I think they were referring to applying to either register the new car with the old plates or apply to register the new car with new plates, not apply to use the old plates to drive the new car home.
From the regulations I posted:
You can put old plates on a new car, without any form of application, if you have all the paperwork and intend to transfer the plates to it within 14 days. My second post identifies a bit of a loophole in the regs. but I am not sure if it ever would be applied in practice.
