Part 2 Classification of animals
5 Prescribed categories
(1) The following categories of animals are prescribed for the purposes of section 6 (a) of the Act:(a) category 1a and category 1b (animals the entry and keeping of which are prohibited),(b) category 2 (animals limited to restricted collections),(c) category 3a and category 3b (animals permitted in other collections),(d) category 4 (animals the entry and keeping of which are not restricted),(e) category 5 (animals that are already widespread pests).(2) Categories 1a, 1b, 2, 3a and 3b are identified as controlled categories for the purposes of section 6 (b) of the Act.(3) Categories 1a, 1b, 2 and 3a are identified as higher risk categories for the purposes of section 6 (c) of the Act.(4) Category 3b is identified as a lower risk category for the purposes of section 6 (c) of the Act.Note—The categories set out in clause 5 reflect the categories adopted by the Vertebrate Pest Committee of the Standing Committee on Agriculture. Under the Committee’s categorisation:• Category 1a consists of species categorised as being of extreme pest potential and are generally not permitted to enter Australia or be kept there.• Category 1b consists of species that have not been classified as belonging to any particular category and are generally not permitted to enter Australia or be kept there.• Category 2 consists of species of high pest potential or of significant conservation value.• Category 3a consists of species that pose some threat to persons or domestic or native fauna and are permitted to be kept primarily for the purpose of exhibition, education, entertainment or conservation in high security institutions.• Category 3b consists of species that have the potential to establish in the wild a population that would present a new threat or aggravate an existing threat and may be kept in private collections only under licence subject to special conditions.• Category 4 consists of species that would be unlikely to present a threat or greatly worsen an existing threat if they escaped into the wild. Animals in this category will usually be domestic or farm animals having no pest potential.• Category 5 consists of species that if they escaped into the wild would be unlikely to establish a population that would present a threat or greatly worsen an existing threat. Animals in this category will usually currently be widespread pests.
6 Classification into categories
(1) The classification of animals for the purposes of section 6 (d) of the Act is as set out in Schedule 1.(2) Any species of non-indigenous animal, that is not listed in Schedule 1 (other than a bird) is classified as a category 1b animal.(3) An animal that is classified as both a category 4 and category 5 animal:(a) is a category 4 animal if it is one of the domestic members of that species, and(b) is a category 5 animal if it is one of the wild (including feral) members of that species.(4) The scientific names of the animals referred to in Schedule 1 are based on the following publications:(a) for all Orders of amphibians: Frost DR, Amphibian species of the world: a taxonomic and geographical reference, published in 1985 by the Association of Systematics Collections, Lawrence, Kansas, USA,(b) for reptiles in the Orders CROCODYLIA and SPHENODONTIDA and in the Order SQUAMATA, Sub-order LACERTILIA: Sokolov VE, Dictionary of animal names in five languages: amphibians and reptiles, published in 1988 by Russky Yazyk, Moscow, Russia,(c) for reptiles in the Order TESTUDINES: IUCN/SSC Tortoise and freshwater turtle specialist group: Tortoises and freshwater turtles: an action plan for their conservation, published in 1989 by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, Gland, Switzerland,(d) for reptiles in the Order SQUAMATA, Sub-order SERPENTES: Mehrtens JM, Living snakes of the world, published in 1987 by the Sterling Publishing Co Inc, New York, New York, USA,(e) for all Orders of mammals: Wilson DE and Reeder DM, Mammal species of the world: a taxonomic and geographic reference, second edition, published in 1993 by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, District of Columbia, USA.Note—The classification of animals effected by this Regulation does not extend to birds. Any provision of the Act or this Regulation that applies only to animals within a particular category does not therefore apply to birds.

Part 6 Standards for keeping animals
20 Object of this Part
The object of this Part is to prescribe requirements and standards for the purposes of section 18 (1) (b) (Cancellation of licences) of the Act.
21 Security of premises
Reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure that premises where controlled category animals are kept are secure against unauthorised entry by persons, except to the extent that the Director-General otherwise approves.
22 Enclosures
(1) Controlled category animals must be kept in an enclosure that is constructed so as to minimise the risks of:(a) injury to the public, and(b) injury to animal attendants exercising due care while in the enclosure, and(c) injury to any animal in the enclosure, and(d) escape by any animal from the enclosure.(2) Vegetation or other material in or near the enclosure must be removed or repositioned if it would otherwise assist an animal to escape.(3) The enclosure in which a digging or burrowing animal is kept must be constructed:(a) with a floor consisting entirely of concrete, or(b) with an enclosing fence of galvanised steel mesh, stainless steel mesh, or concrete, that extends below ground level to a depth of at least 1 metre and then (at that depth) extends horizontally within the enclosure at least 1 metre, or(c) in such other manner as the Director-General considers offers a similar degree of resistance to escape by the animal.
23 Gates, doors and slides
(1) A gate or door on the perimeter of an enclosure in which controlled category animals are kept must open inwards to the enclosure.(2) A gate, door or slide on the perimeter to an enclosure in which controlled category animals are kept must be so designed that an animal in the enclosure cannot lift the gate or door off its hinges or the slide off its tracks and cannot unfasten the device that secures the gate, door or slide.(3) Entry to an enclosure in which a category 3a animal is kept (other than an enclosure that is a reptile pit) must be by means of a safety entrance through successive gates, doors or slides. All of those gates, doors or slides must be kept locked by key or combination except when a person is in the enclosure.(4) If an entrance to an enclosure in which controlled category animals are kept (other than an enclosure that is a drive-through area) is a safety entrance through successive gates or doors, the gates or doors must open inwards to the enclosure.(5) A gate, door or slide referred to in this clause that is power-operated must also be capable of manual operation (both within and outside the enclosure) without risk to the operator.(6) The location from which a gate, door or slide referred to in this clause, or any other means of access to an enclosure, is operated must be safely accessible and allow a clear view of the gate, door, slide or other means and the immediate area of the gate, door, slide or other means.
24 Stand-off barriers
(1) If an enclosure where a dangerous animal is kept is so constructed that contact between the animal and the public outside the enclosure would be possible, a barrier must be provided that prevents that contact and that is as difficult as reasonably practicable for the public to evade.(2) A pit where dangerous snakes are kept must be deep enough to prevent contact between the public and the snakes.
25 Warning signs
(1) If an enclosure is dangerous because it has an electrified fence or contains an animal that is known or suspected to be dangerous, signs must be provided warning of the danger. The signs must be sufficient in size, legibility and number to give reasonable warning of the danger. They may use words, symbols or both.(2) If, because of subclause (1), warning signs must be provided at a drive-through area, those signs must be placed at the entrance to the area and also inside the area.
26 Exit signs
The exit from a drive-through area must be clearly marked. A reasonable number of signs must also be used to indicate the route to the exit.
27 Safety of structures
A structure, or part of a structure, that is dangerous to enter must be locked to prevent entry by the public and provided with signs giving reasonable warning to the public that entry is dangerous and prohibited.
28 Separate enclosures in drive-through areas
If there is access from one enclosure to another within a drive-through area, the access must be so controlled as to prevent an animal in one enclosure from entering the other at will.
Part 7 Miscellaneous
