Director General may approve alternative measure or requirement
44 Director General may approve alternative measure or requirement
If satisfied that a measure, action or requirement is appropriate, the Director General may grant temporary approval for an alternative measure or action to be carried out or requirement imposed from that prescribed by the regulations or in a management plan for the control of a declared pest.
An approval under subsection (1) must specify —
the alternative measure, action or requirement; and
the period, being not more than 6 months, during which the approval remains in force.
A measure or requirement approved under this section as an alternative from that prescribed by the regulations or in a management plan has the same effect as if it were prescribed under the regulations or a management plan.
The Director General must give the Minister a copy of the approval and a written report on the measure or action carried out or requirement imposed.
