Part 5General provisions
Infringement offences
70CHunting without licence during open season
A person must not hunt or kill game of any species during an open season in any area, unless the person holds a licence under this Act to hunt or kill game of the relevant species in the relevant area during the open season.
However, the occupier of any land may, without a licence, hunt or kill any game on the land that may be hunted or killed under a licence.
In subsection (2), occupier has the same meaning as in section 19, but includes a spouse, civil union partner, de facto partner, or child of the occupier.
A person who is appointed as an occupier by a notice signed under section 19(4)(b) and endorsed under section 19(5) must produce the notice if an authorised person (as defined in section 61(3)) demands that the person do so.
A person who fails to comply with this section commits an infringement offence.
