Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020

This section applies if an animal authority is damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen.

The holder of the authority may apply to the chief executive for the replacement of the authority.

The application must—

be made using the authority management system or otherwise be in writing; and

be accompanied by the prescribed fee for the application.

The chief executive must grant the application if the chief executive is satisfied the animal authority has been—

damaged in a way that requires the replacement of the authority; or

destroyed, lost or stolen.

If the chief executive decides to grant the application, the chief executive must give the holder another animal authority to replace the damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen animal authority.

If the chief executive decides to refuse the application, the chief executive must give the holder an information notice for the decision within 14 days after the decision is made.

A document mentioned in subsection (5) or (6) may be given to the holder using the authority management system or in another way.
