GAME AND FERAL ANIMAL CONTROL ACT 2002 - SECT 15

15 Authority conferred by different classes of game hunting licences

(1) General licence A general game hunting licence authorises, subject to this Act, the holder of the licence to hunt game animals on any private land.

(2) Restricted licence A restricted game hunting licence authorises, subject to this Act, the holder of the licence to hunt game animals on public land as well as any private land.

(4) Other statutory prohibitions A game hunting licence does not authorise the holder of the licence to contravene any prohibition or restriction imposed by or under any Act or statutory instrument.
