sec.400 Existing wildlife authorities for animals continued
This section applies in relation to a wildlife authority that was granted by the chief executive under a repealed provision and in effect immediately before the commencement (an existing wildlife authority ). From the commencement, the wildlife authority is taken to be the corresponding animal authority for the wildlife authority granted under the corresponding provision for the repealed provision. From the commencement, the person who was the holder of the wildlife authority immediately before the commencement is taken to be the holder of the corresponding animal authority. However, the corresponding animal authority is taken to have effect for authorising a person only to the same extent as the wildlife authority’s effect, immediately before commencement, under a repealed provision. If a person was the holder of a recreational wildlife licence immediately before the commencement, and the licence did not state a limit on the number of animals of a particular species the person could have kept under the licence, the person— is taken to be the holder of a specialised licence; and may keep any number of animals of the species under the specialised licence, despite sections 101(1), 109 and 251. If a person was the holder of a recreational wildlife licence immediately before the commencement, and the person was authorised to keep no more than 100 animals of a particular species under the licence, the person— is taken to be the holder of a specialised licence; and may keep no more than 100 animals of the species under the specialised licence, despite sections 101(1), 109 and 251. If a person was the holder of a recreational wildlife licence immediately before the commencement, and the recreational wildlife licence was subject to a condition— the person is taken to be the holder of a specialised licence; and the specialised licence is taken to be subject to the condition. Subsection (4) applies even if the subsection limits or extends the person’s authorisation under another provision of this regulation or a conservation plan. If, immediately before the commencement, the wildlife authority was subject to a condition or other restriction (however described), the corresponding animal authority is subject to the same condition or restriction. A wildlife authority continued in effect under this section as a corresponding animal authority is a transitioned authority . Subsections (4) to (6) do not prevent a transitioned authority being amended, surrendered or cancelled under this regulation.
