Game estates

65J: Delisting

You could also call this:

"Removing a game estate from the official list"

The Director-General can remove a game estate from the list if you ask them to, or if they think the estate no longer meets the criteria mentioned in section 65H, or if it is not operated as a game estate anymore. They can also remove it if you have not paid the listing fee on time and it has been more than 30 days. If the Director-General wants to remove a game estate for these reasons, they must tell you in writing and give you a chance to explain why it should not be removed, or to pay the fee you owe. The Director-General removing a game estate from the list does not stop you from applying to have it listed again under section 65G.

        2. notify the game estate operator in writing of his or her intention; and
