Conservation Act 1987

Miscellaneous

37: Production of permit, etc, on demand

You could also call this:

"Show your permit when a conservation officer asks"

If you do something that needs a permit, concession, right, or other authority under this Act, you must show it to a warranted officer when they ask you to. You have to do this within a reasonable time. You will be doing something wrong if you do not show your permit, concession, right, or authority when you are asked to. This is because the law says you must produce it when a warranted officer asks you to, and not doing so is an offence against this Act.
