Abstract

The Nature Conservation (Macropod) Conservation Plan (the plan) provides that a written notice (a harvest period notice) may be prepared to declare a harvest period. Key purposes of the plan include allowing the ecologically sustainable use of macropods taken from the wild and minimising the impact of taking macropods on nature. The policy objective of the harvest period notice operates within these overarching purposes, being to regulate the harvest of macropods in a manner that ensures sustainable harvest levels are maintained. To achieve its objective, the harvest period notice will: 1. Declare a harvest period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 for harvest macropods. 2. Allow the lawful harvesting of 3 species of macropod: a) eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus); b) red kangaroo (Macropus rufus); c) common wallaroo (Macropus robustus); 3. Define particular areas where harvesting of macropods can occur. 4 Define the maximum amount of macropods harvested from a particular area.
