"native game bird management licence" ) to the owner or occupier of specified
private land that authorises the killing, for sustainable agricultural
management purposes only, of a specified number of native game birds of a
specified class found on that land. For the purposes of this Part,
"kill" includes capture.
Note : The holders of game hunting licences authorised to kill native
game birds will be either the owner or occupier of the land concerned or other
persons permitted by the owner or occupier to do so.

native game bird management licence also authorises the person who has killed
a native game bird under the authority of the licence to possess the carcass,
or the skin or any other part, of the native game bird.
(6) Except as provided by section 6A (2A), a
native game bird management licence does not authorise a person to contravene
any prohibition or restriction imposed by or under any other Act.
