Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989

Miscellaneous provisions

53: Schedules

You could also call this:

"Lists of endangered species that can be updated by the Governor-General"

Illustration for Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989

The Governor-General can change the schedules in the act from time to time. You can think of schedules like lists of items. The Governor-General can add or remove items from Schedule 1, Schedule 2, or Schedule 3, or change items that are already there.

The Governor-General can also add or remove parts from these schedules, or get rid of a whole schedule and replace it with a new one. This is done so the schedules match the Convention, which can be changed from time to time.

When the Governor-General makes an order to change the schedules, it is considered secondary legislation, which has its own rules for publication, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
