If you are a local authority and you have plans to destroy injurious birds, you need to send these plans to the Director-General for approval. The Director-General will look at your plans and decide if they are okay. You can find more information about the laws that used to apply to this in the Biosecurity Law Reform Act 2012, but this particular rule is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 18 September 2012.
