sec.29 Variation of carrying capacity of miners common
The controller may vary the carrying capacity of the miners common as follows— if the controller considers there is more stock on the miners common than it can support—by reducing the carrying capacity; if the controller considers the miners common can support more than the number of stock agisted on it without adversely affecting future agistment—by increasing the carrying capacity. The controller may vary the carrying capacity only in a way that ensures, as far as is reasonably practicable, no existing or prospective holder of an agistment approval is treated more favourably than any other holder. Subsection (1) (b) does not authorise the controller to increase the number of stock a person may agist on the miners common to more than 20 head of stock. (sec.29-ssec.1) The controller may vary the carrying capacity of the miners common as follows— if the controller considers there is more stock on the miners common than it can support—by reducing the carrying capacity; if the controller considers the miners common can support more than the number of stock agisted on it without adversely affecting future agistment—by increasing the carrying capacity.
