78 Stock permits authorising certain uses of travelling stock reserves and public roads
An authorised officer of Local Land Services may issue a permit (a stock permit) to any person authorising the person to do anything (or omit to do anything) on or in relation to any public road or travelling stock reserve (whether controlled or managed) specified in the permit in respect of stock owned or in the charge of the person and that would otherwise contravene a provision of this Division.
Without limiting subsection (1), an authorised officer may issue a stock permit authorising a person to do any one or more of the following—
enter a controlled travelling stock reserve with stock,
remain on a controlled travelling stock reserve with stock,
walk stock on a public road or travelling stock reserve,
graze stock on a public road or controlled travelling stock reserve.
A stock permit cannot be issued authorising a person to graze stock (other than travelling stock) on a public road without the concurrence of—
in the case of a public road that is not a Crown road—the local council in which the road is vested, or
in the case of a Crown road—the Minister administering the Crown Land Management Act 2016.
Note.
Under section 40 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 the concurrence of the Minister is required before the issue of a permit to graze over a travelling stock reserve within the boundaries of a national park or historic site.
A stock permit is to be in the approved form.
Nothing in this section authorises or permits an authorised officer to issue a stock permit authorising a person to do (or omit to do) anything on or in relation to a freeway or tollway within the meaning of the Roads Act 1993.
