Charles McKenzie Ross Evans, 46, is set to be released on parole in Victoria on Tuesday before heading back to NSW.
He had been charged with murdering his fiance Alicia Little on December 28, 2017, at Kyneton.
The pair's four-year relationship had been marked by violence but Evans asked the late woman to marry him two weeks before her death.
He struck Ms Little with his Toyota HiLux at the property, causing her multiple broken bones, severe blunt force trauma, lacerations to her liver and other injuries.
She was crushed between the vehicle and a concrete water tank.
Evans failed to help his partner and left, and she was later found by police.
Evans, who has family ties to the Border and has worked in the area, pleaded guilty to lesser charges of dangerous driving causing death and failing to render assistance after a crash.
He received a minimum term of 30 months in jail, with a four-year maximum.
The late woman's mother, North East resident Lee Little, said she feared for any woman who came into contact with Evans.
"I'm worried he's going to do it again," she said.
"I've got two sons but Alicia was our only daughter.
"I miss her every day, I miss everything about her.
"She was such a vibrant person and was so energetic.
"He's taken something from us."
Ms Little said the impact on her daughter's four children was "horrific".
They still have nightmares.
"I never want someone to be in the situation we're going through," she said.
"The parents and family of Alicia have got the life sentence - he's still here, our daughter's not."

Ms Little still has the text messages sent by her daughter only minutes before her death, stating that "in the next 24hrs there is going to be drama".
She has campaigned for a national domestic violence register to be introduced, noting that there were similar systems for sex offenders.
Victorian authorities would not comment on Evans' release.
A Corrective Services NSW spokeswoman said he would have 11 conditions as part of his parole.
He will need a permit to enter NSW and must isolate for two weeks.
"A thorough assessment was undertaken of the offender's suitability to live in NSW, including his housing, prior to the transfer being approved," the spokeswoman said.
"Community safety is the paramount factor when managing offenders on parole."
