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.

The Firearms Amendment (COVID-19) Regulation 2020, has recently been introduced and is now in force. This Regulation is here to assist the NSW firearms community in managing their firearms responsibilities while COVID-19 health orders are in place.
The Regulation recognises that there are some compliance functions that licence holders may not be able to perform due to social distancing measures, such as club participation shoots. In addition, the Regulation creates exemptions in relation to certain required time periods specified in the Firearms Act 1996, in circumstances where a person is restricted or prevented from complying with those periods because of an order made under Section 7 of the Public Health Act 2010 relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the provisions of Part 3, Modifications relating to participation requirements for club members, I confirm that participation requirements for club members has been extended a further 12 months. However, it must be noted that the provisions of this Regulation are only relevant whilst there is a current order under Section 7 of the Public Health Act 2010 relating specifically to the COVID-19 pandemic.
