32D Quotas on killing native game birds
(1) The Regulatory Authority is required to set annual quotas of native game
birds that may be killed under the authority conferred by a native game bird
management licence.
(2) The following provisions apply to the setting of
quotas by the Regulatory Authority--
(a) quotas are to be set on the basis of
the best scientific information available of the estimated regional population
of native game birds,
(b) separate quotas may be set for different species of
native game birds and for different parts of the State,
(c) annual quotas are
not required to be set for all species of native game birds in all parts of
the State,
(d) quotas may be revised from time to time.
(3) The Regulatory
Authority is to ensure, by the imposition of licence conditions, that the
number of native game birds authorised to be killed by the holders of licences
under this Act complies with the relevant quota set by the Regulatory
Authority.
(4) If a quota is not set during a particular period in respect of
a particular species or a particular part of the State, a native game bird
management licence does not authorise the killing, during that period, of that
particular species of native game bird or any other native game bird in that
particular part of the State.
