About this statute

This Act sets rules for hunting, keeping, selling, importing, and licensing wildlife, and creates offences and penalties for breaches. This part bans several wildlife-related activities without the required licence, permit, or written permission, and gives enforcement officers and the Director General strong search, seizure, and arrest powers. This provision covers offences, compounding, prosecution consent, protections for officers and informers, ministerial regulatory powers, exemptions, and transitional reporting/application duties. This Schedule lists species that are totally protected and explains how the names in the Schedule must be read. This part lists wildlife species and related schedules, sets maturity standards for certain animals, and defines what counts as a snare.
