### sec.65 Board’s function
An invasive animal board’s function is to keep the part of the barrier fence for which it is responsible (the fence part ) in good order, and to ensure it is maintained as an effective barrier against, depending on its form of construction in any particular place, the invasive animal the board is to manage.
Without limiting subsection (1) , an invasive animal board’s function includes—
regularly inspecting the fence part; and
repairing the fence part; and
replacing damaged sections of the fence part that can not be repaired; and
clearing obstructions from on or near the fence part to ensure the fence’s integrity as a barrier.
If an invasive animal board has an operational area for an invasive animal, the board also has the function of managing the animal in the operational area.
