Exhibited Animals Act 2015

If the application is made under section 94(1), the chief executive must consider the application and decide to—

grant the special exhibition approval; or

grant the special exhibition approval on conditions; or

refuse to grant the special exhibition approval.

Without limiting subsection (1), the chief executive must have regard to any contravention of an exhibited animal direction by the applicant.

The chief executive may grant the special exhibition approval only for a period ending no later than—

1 year after the grant of the approval; or

if the term of the exhibition licence to which the approval relates will sooner end—the day the term of the licence ends.

If the chief executive decides to grant the special exhibition approval—

the chief executive must give the applicant the approval; and

the approval is taken to be part of the exhibition licence to which it relates while the approval is in force.

If the chief executive refuses to grant the special exhibition approval or decides to grant the approval on conditions other than those applied for, the chief executive must give the applicant an information notice for the decision.
