Part 2 Animal display establishments

4 Exemptions from licensing requirements

(1)  For the purposes of section 4 (1) of the Act, an animal display establishment is exempt from the requirement to be licensed if the only animals exhibited at the establishment are freshwater fish that are kept:

(a)  in a decorative or landscaped pond or ponds of any size, or

(b)  in an aquarium that has a capacity of less than 2,000 litres or aquaria that have a total capacity of less than 2,000 litres.

(a)  the animal is in a wild state, and

(b)  given the nature and circumstances of the animal and establishment concerned, it would be unreasonable to require the use of the establishment to be licensed (and comply with the licensing requirements) under the Act.

Note—

Certain wildlife sanctuaries require and maintain very limited human interaction with the animals kept on those premises. In such cases the Director-General may form the view that it is unreasonable to require the operator of the sanctuary to comply with the strict requirements of a licence under the Act.

5 Exhibitions exempted from the operation of the Act

(2)  If the display of any animal that constitutes exhibition for the purposes of the Act and the display of any animal that does not constitute exhibition for the purposes of the Act (by virtue of subclause (1)) takes place at the same time on the same premises, any authority issued in relation to the premises applies to all animals at the premises.

Note—

For example, if a pony ride (which is not exhibition for the purposes of the Act by virtue of clause 5 (1) (i)) takes place at an exhibition or display farm to which an approval relates, the approval, and any terms, conditions or standards that have effect under the approval, also apply to the pony ride.
