Forestry Act 1959

The chief executive must issue an identity card to each forest officer and plantation officer.

The identity card must—

contain a recent photo of the person; and

contain a copy of the person’s signature; and

identify the person as a forest officer or plantation officer under this Act; and

state an expiry date for the card.

This section does not prevent the issue of a single identity card to a person for this Act and other purposes.

Without limiting subsection (3), if the person holds an office under another Act administered by the department, the identity card may identify the other office.

Despite subsection (1), the chief executive is not required to issue an identity card to—

a forest officer who is a police officer; or

a person who holds an identity card, issued under another Act by a Minister or chief executive of a department, that identifies the person as a forest officer.
