60 Wildlife controller licences—approvals required before wildlife can be controlled

(2) It is a condition of any wildlife controller licence that if the licence holder is employed by an owner, occupier or manager of land to take or destroy wildlife listed in Schedule 6, the licence holder must ensure that the owner, occupier or manager of the land holds an authorisation issued under Part IIIA of the Act unless—
(a) the wildlife is declared by the Governor in Council to be unprotected in that area; or
(b) the licence holder is taking or destroying reptiles.
