Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to remake (with some modifications) the Stock Diseases Regulation 2004 (the "2004 Regulation").
This Regulation deals with the following matters:

(a) (in relation to anthrax, brucellosis, tuberculosis, rabies and footrot) the testing of stock for disease, the notification of disease in stock, the vaccination of stock and the restriction of movement of tested or vaccinated stock (Part 2),
(b) a scheme for the identification and tracing of movement of stock (Part 3),
(c) permits for the movement of things (other than stock) out of quarantine areas (Part 4),
(d) permits generally (Part 5),
(e) matters of a minor, consequential or ancillary nature (Parts 1 and 6).
The major modifications from the 2004 Regulation relate to the identification and tracing of stock. The relevant provisions are largely based on the provisions contained in Part 3 of the 2004 Regulation. However, this Regulation provides for:
(a) the strengthening of the scheme of mandatory permanent identification and tracing of cattle, sheep and goats, and
(b) the inclusion of pigs in that mandatory permanent identification and tracing scheme (previously pigs were included in a transaction identification scheme only), and
(c) the voluntary permanent identification of horses and other equines and alpacas and other camelids in accordance with a scheme approved by the Director-General of the Department of Industry and Investment, and
(d) all properties that have certain specified stock on them being required to have a property identification code for the purposes of such schemes.
The modifications will enable movements of sheep and goats to be recorded on a mob-based movement database and improve the exchange of information under, and provide greater consistency with, the National Livestock Identification System for cattle operated by Meat and Livestock Australia.
This Regulation is made under the Stock Diseases Act 1923, including section 23 (the general regulation-making power) and, in particular, section 23 (1) (c) and (3).
This Regulation is made in connection with the staged repeal of subordinate legislation under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989.
