Nature Conservation (Macropod) Conservation Plan 2017.

The objective of this Plan is to provide a replacement for the Nature Conservation (Macropod) Conservation Plan 2005, which is due to expire on 31 August 2017, to ensure that the taking, keeping and use of macropods is ecologically sustainable and humane. The policy objectives include: prescribing additional restrictions on the grant of particular licences or permits for macropods; limiting or extending what holders, or relevant persons for holders, of particular licences or permits for macropods may do under the licences or permits; providing additional authorised taking, keeping or use of macropods by landholders or holders of particular licences, permits or other authorities; and declaring products made or derived from particular macropods as processed products under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
To achieve the stated policy objectives: Part 2 of the instrument states circumstances in which the taking, keeping or using of macropods is authorised under the Act, other than under a wildlife authority. Part 3 prescribes matters for particular licences or permits for macropods, in addition to the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006, about restrictions on the grant of the licences or permits; limitations and extensions of activities authorised under the licences or permits and regulation of activities under the licences or permits. Part 4 applies to the holder of a macropod harvesting licence and states the requirements about attaching Queensland macropod tags to macropods taken under the licence, etc.
