Quarantine Act 1908

Quarantine (Animals) Regulations (Amendment)

Section 87 of the Quarantine Act 1908 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make Regulations, not inconsistent with this Act, prescribing matters necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.

The Quarantine (Animals) Regulations (the Regulations) prescribe procedures to be followed relating to the importation and quarantine of animals, including, under subregulation 52(2) the payment of a fee for the lodgement of an application for registration of any zoological garden, circus or theatre.

Subregulation 52(2) is to be amended by the deletion of any reference to the fee as the fee is now imposed by a Ministerial determination under section 86E of the Act. The current fee is set by Item 11 of Quarantine Determinations No. 4 of 1992 which came into effect on 16 December 1992.

The proposed Regulations would commence on notification in the Gazette.
