Wildlife Amendment Regulations (No. 2) 2007 (TAS)

The Wildlife Amendment Regulations (No. 2) 2007 were made under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 by the Governor of Tasmania. The regulations amend the Wildlife Regulations 1999 to provide exemptions from certain prohibitions on taking specially protected, protected, and partly protected wildlife for persons undertaking certain activities in accordance with a certified forest practices plan or a public authority management agreement. The regulations also provide an exemption for persons undertaking dam works in accordance with a dam permit granted under the Water Management Act 1999.

The court was required to determine the validity of the Wildlife Amendment Regulations (No. 2) 2007 and whether they were consistent with the Nature Conservation Act 2002. The court had to consider whether the exemptions provided by the regulations were consistent with the purpose and objects of the Act, and whether the regulations were within the scope of the Act.

The court found that the Wildlife Amendment Regulations (No. 2) 2007 were valid and consistent with the Nature Conservation Act 2002. The court held that the exemptions provided by the regulations were consistent with the purpose and objects of the Act, and that the regulations were within the scope of the Act. The court also found that the regulations were not inconsistent with the Water Management Act 1999 or the Dam Works Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2007.

The court made no orders as the regulations were found to be valid and consistent with the relevant Acts.
