Stranded or distressed fauna
128 Stranded or distressed fauna
This regulation applies in relation to fauna that is, or appears to be, stranded or distressed.
Fauna to which this regulation applies may be protected by the closure of an area of land by a CALM Act officer, or another person, authorised by the CEO to act under this regulation.
However —
in the case of an area of land that is or includes private land, the area must not be closed without the consent of an owner or occupier of the land; and
in the case of an area of land that is under the care, control and management of a responsible authority —
the CEO must ensure that notification of the closure is given to the responsible authority as soon as practicable after the closure; and
the notification must provide information about the time at which the closure came into effect and, if known, the period of the closure.
If information about the period of the closure is not provided in a notification under subregulation (3)(b)(ii)), the CEO must ensure that the responsible authority is informed of the period as soon as it is known.
A notification under this regulation may be given in any manner the CEO considers appropriate.
