Conservation Act 1987

Control of dogs

26ZZK: Persons authorised to take dogs into controlled dog area without dog control permit

You could also call this:

"Who can take dogs into controlled areas without a permit"

You can take a dog into a controlled dog area without a dog control permit if you are a Police employee, a warranted officer, an officer or employee of the Department, a Customs officer, or a search and rescue person, and you are doing your job or training. You can do this as part of your official duties. This means you do not need a permit to take a dog into the area.

You can also take a guide dog into a controlled dog area without a dog control permit if you are blind or partly blind and use the guide dog. This is allowed because you need the guide dog to help you.

You can take a companion dog into a controlled dog area without a dog control permit if you use the companion dog. This is another situation where you do not need a permit to take a dog into the area.
