The Game and Feral Animal Control regulation 2022 (GFAC 2022) has been published to the NSW legislation website and is now in force. The NSW Government considered all feedback received through the public consultation on the draft regulation in formulating GFAC 2022. Only minor amendments have been made, compared to the Game and Feral Animal Control Regulation 2012, but includes changes that all licence holders need to be aware of:
- Removal of redundance clauses relating to deer hunting (including deer hunting seasons)
- Formalisation of the grounds for suspending or cancelling a game hunting licence, including the application of a fit and proper person test at any time during the licence period.
- Specific detail in relation to the grounds for refusal of licence based on previous offences to improve clarity and objectivity of what applications must be refused.
- Reduction of the maximum term of a Native Game Bird Management (Owner/Occupier) Licence to one year to align with the annual native game bird quota allocation.
- An exemption from the motor vehicle definition to allow people with disabilities that prevents them from hunting on foot to use a wheelchair for hunting.
