4‑3 Other requirements for registration

(1) For the purposes of paragraph 112(2)(f) of the Act, this section prescribes other requirements that must be met for an establishment to be registered for operations to prepare prescribed livestock for export. (2) There must be an operations manual for the establishment that clearly states: (a) the export operations to be carried out at the establishment; and (b) the management system to be implemented at the establishment in relation to the export operations, including the supervision arrangements, the arrangements for keeping records, and the maintenance to be carried out at the establishment. The operations manual must include sufficient detail to enable the export operations to be effectively monitored and audited.

Note: If the establishment is registered for operations to prepare prescribed livestock for export, the operations manual must not be varied except as permitted by section 4‑9.

(3) The occupier of the establishment must have the capacity: (a) to carry out the export operations in accordance with the operations manual; and (b) to comply with the conditions of registration of the establishment. (4) The occupier of the establishment must manage or control the day‑to‑day export operations carried out at the establishment. (5) If an approval or licence (or similar permission) from the relevant State or Territory body is required to carry out the export operations at the establishment, the occupier of the establishment must hold that approval or licence (or similar permission). (6) The location of the establishment must be appropriate for the kind, class and maximum number of livestock to be held at the establishment and the export operations. (6A) Property identification codes must be allocated to the establishment, or the particular parts of the establishment, at which prescribed livestock are, or will be, prepared for export. (7) Adequate measures must be in place to ensure security at the establishment. (8) Export operations in relation to prescribed livestock must be carried out at the establishment in a way that will ensure that the requirements of the Act are complied with.

Note 1: The requirements in this section also apply in relation to an application to renew the registration of the establishment (see subsection 4‑11(2)).

Note 2: Other requirements that must be met are provided by paragraphs 112(2)(a), (b), (c) and (e) of the Act. In addition, an approved arrangement covering operations to prepare the prescribed livestock for export must be in force (see paragraph 112(2)(d) of the Act and item 1 of the table in section 2‑3 of this instrument).
