1991—No. 129

(d)	if the application is for an applicable authority referred to in subclause (1) (a) or (b) and the application relates to a minor establishment—$250; or

EXPLANATORY NOTE

At present, the Exhibited Animals Protection Regulation 1989:

(a) requires a local council, when applying for a licence for an animal display establishment that is run by the council and for admission to which there is no charge, to pay a fee of $500 or $250 (depending on the size of the display); and

(b) permits the council to renew the licence without payment of a fee.

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Exhibited Animals Protection Regulation 1989 so as to subject state recreation areas to the same requirement and grant them the same permission.
