July 14, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government will extend its existing Nature Conservation Regulations for 12 months while it considers a better system to manage protected animals.<\/p>\n

The regulations – which govern how native animals can be kept, traded or culled – haven’t been reviewed since 2004.<\/p>\n

They are now regarded as being out of step with the rest of Australia.<\/p>\n

Environment Minister Dr Steven Miles said today members of the public will have an opportunity to have their say on any reforms to the regulations.<\/p>\n

“We are seeking the community\u2019s feedback to help us improve conservation outcomes and remove unnecessary regulatory burdens,” Dr Miles said.<\/p>\n

“The government’s continued role in protected animal management aims to reflect community interests while conserving nature.”<\/p>\n

Dr Miles said that in the last 12 years there have been significant improvements in the understanding of protected species and management approaches.<\/p>\n

“To reflect these advances and meet community expectations, the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection recently reviewed frameworks for protected plants, marine mammals, and crocodile management.”<\/p>\n

Attention is now turning to native animals and birds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A discussion paper has been developed as part of the public consultation process.<\/p>\n

The paper outlines the current issues, trends and options for improving the management of protected animals in Queensland.<\/p>\n

For more information and to access the discussion paper, visit the Queensland Government<\/b><\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Submissions will close at 5:00pm on Friday, July 29 and can be submitted via mail or by email<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
