22 Additional purpose for which chief executive may grant permit
This section states, for the Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020, section 162(1)(c), an additional purpose for which a damage mitigation permit may be granted.
The chief executive may grant a damage mitigation permit to authorise the catching of a problem crocodile.
However, the chief executive may grant a damage mitigation permit to authorise the catching of a problem crocodile only if the chief executive is satisfied—
action under the permit will not detrimentally affect the survival of estuarine crocodiles in the wild; and
the proposed way of catching the crocodile is humane and not likely to cause unnecessary suffering to the crocodile.
