Use of Primary Producer Licence firearms for hunting by licensee
61 Use of Primary Producer Licence firearms for hunting by licensee
An individual who holds a Primary Producer Licence is taken to hold a Hunting Licence (a primary producer’s Hunting Licence) that applies to each firearm to which the Primary Producer Licence applies.
Note for this subsection:
A Hunting Licence only authorises hunting on land for which the licensee has approval for hunting (as provided by sections 36 to 40).
A primary producer’s Hunting Licence does not authorise the use of a category C or H firearm to which the licence applies for hunting but does authorise the use of the firearm for a purpose authorised under section 110 or 111.
Note for this subsection:
Under section 110, a Hunting Licence also authorises target shooting and firearms training at a licensed firearm range. Under section 111 a Hunting Licence also authorises target shooting for the purposes of sighting in a firearm at a location where the firearm is authorised to be used.
Section 30 does not limit the number of firearms that a licence can apply to when the licence is a primary producer’s Hunting Licence.
A Hunting Licence must not be granted to an individual who is taken to hold a primary producer’s Hunting Licence.
This section does not prevent the grant of a Competition Licence or Paintball Licence to an individual who holds a Primary Producer Licence.
