Abstract The object of this Regulation is to remake, with some changes of substance, the Non-Indigenous Animals Regulation 1997. The changes of substance include the classification of non-indigenous birds, by species, as belonging to particular prescribed categories of animals, and an increase in the fees payable for applications for licences and permits (and renewals of licences and permits) under the Non-Indigenous Animals Act 1987. As prescribed in section 6 of the principal Act, the Regulation identifies the following categories of non-indigenous animals: animals the entry and keeping of which are prohibited (1a and 1b); animals limited to restricted collections (2); animals permitted in other collections (3a and 3b); animals the entry and keeping of which are not restricted (4); animals that are already widespread pests (5). Said categorization mirrors the uniform categorization now used by the National Vertebrate Pests Committee. Schedule 1 contains a list of the species that fall within each category. Further provisions concern licences and permits (Part 6) and the establishment of standards for keeping animals (Part 7).
