Queensland regulation
What is this about?
This regulation governs how stock routes (designated pathways used to move livestock — cattle, sheep, etc. — across Queensland) are managed. It replaces an older 2003 regulation and sets out the practical rules for farmers and graziers who use these routes.
Who does it affect?
What does it actually do?
Designates which local councils are responsible for managing specific parts of the stock route network under the parent legislation (the Stock Route Management Act)
Sets interest rates on overdue fees — if you owe money (e.g., unpaid permit fees) and don't pay on time, interest accrues daily at the Reserve Bank's 90-day bank bill rate plus 8%. That's a significant penalty rate.
Sets a $1,000 threshold for seized livestock — if your stock are seized, this is the prescribed market value amount that triggers certain legal processes.

Governs permit fees for two types of permits:
Handles the transition from the old 2003 regulation — applications lodged before this regulation started are still processed under the old fee rules if the fee hasn't been paid yet
Why does it matter to you?
If you're a farmer moving or resting livestock on Queensland stock routes, this regulation directly determines what you'll pay and how fees are calculated. The interest penalty rate (bank rate + 8%) means unpaid fees can become expensive quickly.
