sec.73 Controlling activity
The chief executive may give a person a written permission to conduct an activity the chief executive considers to be reasonable and necessary to significantly reduce the population of, or eradicate, wildlife that is not native wildlife in a protected area (a controlling activity ). However, if the protected area is a special wildlife reserve or nature refuge, the chief executive may give the permission only with the consent of the landholder of the land in the reserve or refuge. The permission must state— how, where and when the controlling activity may be conducted; and the conditions of the permission. Without limiting the conditions the chief executive may impose on the permission, the chief executive may impose conditions about any of the following matters— taking out public liability insurance for the controlling activity; dealing with wildlife taken under the permission; reporting to the chief executive. A permission given under this section authorises the person to whom it is given to take, use, keep or interfere with the cultural or natural resources of the protected area stated in the permission, for conducting the controlling activity stated in the permission.
