STOCK (IDENTIFICATION AND MOVEMENT) ACT 1970 - SECT 49

49 .         Special permits for travelling stock

        (1)         A proprietor of stock who desires to move any of his stock repeatedly to and from neighbouring runs for purposes incidental to animal husbandry, may apply in writing to the nearest Inspector for a special permit.

        (2)         An Inspector to whom an application is made in accordance with subsection (1), may upon being satisfied that the application is made in good faith, issue to the applicant a special permit, subject to such terms and conditions, if any, as are specified therein.

        (3)         Until it is cancelled by an Inspector, a special permit authorises the proprietor to whom it is issued to travel his stock to and from neighbouring runs as often as is necessary for purposes for which the permit was issued, subject to any terms and conditions as are specified in the permit.

        (4)         Where an Inspector is of the opinion that the continuance in force of a permit issued pursuant to this section may lead to the spread of disease or may otherwise defeat or impede the achievement of the objects and purposes of this Act, the Inspector may, at any time and whether or not the permit was issued by him, cancel the permit.

        (5)         Where a permit is cancelled pursuant to subsection (4), the person to whom that permit was issued or the drover of travelling stock having custody of the permit, shall, upon demand by an Inspector, forthwith deliver up the cancelled permit to the Inspector.

        (6)         Where a permit has been cancelled pursuant to subsection (4) an Inspector may at any time issue a fresh permit in place of the cancelled permit, subject to such terms and conditions as the Inspector thinks fit and specifies in the permit.

        [Section 49 amended by No. 75 of 1972 s. 8.]
