71 Applications for permits

(1) An application for a permit is to be made to Local Land Services—

(a) orally, or

(b) in the approved form (if any) for the permit concerned.

(2) If an application is made orally, Local Land Services may request the applicant to confirm the application in writing.

Note.

If Local Land Services has delegated its functions relating to applications to a member of the Board, a member of the staff of Local Land Services or an authorised officer, the application may be made to that delegate.

(3) An application for a stock permit must be made at least 2 working days before the stock enter, remain on, walk or graze on, or are moved by vehicle over, a travelling stock reserve or public road in a region (unless Local Land Services agrees to accept the application although it is not made in that period).

Note.

Section 79 of the Act requires an application to be made in accordance with the regulations. Local Land Services need not process an application that is not received at least 2 working days before it is required.

(4) Fee for issue of permit For the purposes of section 79 (2) (c) and (d) (ii) of the Act, the following fee (being a fee in respect of a stock permit that solely authorises a person to graze stock on a public road or a stock permit that solely authorises a person to graze stock on a controlled travelling stock reserve) is prescribed—

(a) for small stock—$1 per day for each 10 or less small stock,

(b) for large stock (other than horses and camels)—$1 per day for each animal,

(c) for horses and camels—$2 per day for each animal.

(4A) If Local Land Services decides that the fee for a permit that solely authorises a person to graze stock on a controlled travelling stock reserve will be determined through an acquisition process—

(a) an application for the permit is taken to have been made only by a person who is successful in the acquisition process, and

(b) a person is not an applicant for the permit merely because the person participates in the acquisition process.

(4B) The acquisition process must be fair and reasonable in the opinion of Local Land Services.
