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

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.
