### sec.199 Show organiser to record designated animal movements
A person (the relevant person ) having responsibility for the organisation and operation of an agricultural show must keep, for 2 years after a designated animal arrives at the agricultural show, a record in the appropriate form for the designated animal.
Maximum penalty—200 penalty units.
For subsection (1) , a record is in the appropriate form if it is a document in hard copy or electronic form that clearly sets out the following information for a designated animal—
where the designated animal came from;
when the designated animal arrived at the agricultural show;
when the designated animal left the agricultural show;
a description of the designated animal or, if the animal is part of a group of designated animals that arrived at the agricultural show, a description of the group, including, for example, any distinguishing marks or features on the animal or group that may be sufficient to identify the animal or group;
the name and address of the person who kept the designated animal immediately before the animal arrived at the agricultural show;
the name and address of the person who will be keeping the designated animal immediately after the animal leaves the agricultural show;
for a designated animal fitted with an approved device that does not include a microchip—the PIC shown on the device for the animal;
for a designated animal that participated in an event at the agricultural show—the date of the event.
The relevant person is required to comply with subsection (1) whether or not the person is a registrable biosecurity entity for the keeping of the designated animal, and whether or not the person is required to comply with the movement record requirement for any movement of the designated animal.
A person who fails to comply with subsection (1) does not commit an offence against the subsection if the person has a reasonable excuse for the failure to comply.
This section applies to a designated animal that is caused to be present at the agricultural show at any time for the purpose, whether or not the purpose is fulfilled, of being exhibited at the show or of participating in an event at the show.
