14A Weight requirement for carcass of harvest macropod taken for meat only or meat and skin
This section applies if—
the holder of a macropod harvesting licence intends to take a harvest macropod—
under the licence; and
during a harvest period stated in a harvest period notice; and
for the macropod’s meat only or for both the macropod’s meat and skin; and
the harvest period notice states—
a minimum whole weight for the macropod; or
a minimum dressed weight for the macropod.
The holder must not take the harvest macropod if the holder reasonably believes—
if subsection (1)(b)(i) applies—the weight of the whole form carcass of the macropod will be less than the minimum whole weight; or
if subsection (1)(b)(ii) applies—the weight of the dressed carcass of the macropod will be less than the minimum dressed weight.
Maximum penalty—120 penalty units.
Without limiting subsection (2), the holder contravenes subsection (2)(a) if the weight of the whole form carcass of the harvest macropod is or becomes less than the minimum whole weight at any time—
starting when the macropod is taken; and
ending when the macropod is dressed.
Without limiting subsection (2), the holder contravenes subsection (2)(b) if the weight of the dressed carcass of the harvest macropod is or becomes less than the minimum dressed weight at any time—
starting when the macropod is dressed; and
ending when the holder sells, gives away, processes, consumes or otherwise disposes of the macropod.
