Government Notice

Wildlife Act 1953

Wildlife Regulations 1955

1990 Open Season for Game in Acclimatisation Districts—North Island and South Island

Preamble to Notice

The Preamble is part of the notice—

While Acclimatisation Districts exist under the Wildlife Act 1953 the following provisions of this notice shall apply to those Districts. However, when regions for Transitional Fish and Game Councils (or Fish and Game Councils as the case may be) are established pursuant to the Conservation Act 1987 to replace Acclimatisation Districts, the provisions contained in this notice shall continue to apply mutatis mutandis the former Acclimatisation District boundaries.

For the avoidance of doubt where a region of a Transitional Fish and Game Council (or a region of Fish and Game Council) overlaps part of a former Acclimatisation District then that Council shall continue to apply mutatis mutandis the provisions relating to the former Acclimatisation District specified in this notice to that part of its region where the overlap has occurred.

Pursuant to the Wildlife Act 1953, the Minister of Conservation declares an open season for game in the acclimatisation districts, subject to the Third Schedule (Game Licences and Licence Fees) hereto; and subject to the conditions specified in the Second Schedule hereto, except in the closed game areas published in the supplement to the New Zealand Gazette of 28 March 1985, and subject to any amendments in any subsequent Gazette notice and in this notice.

The attention of sportsmen and others is drawn to the daily game possession limits set forth in the First Schedule hereto and to the provisions of the Wildlife Act 1953 and the Wildlife Regulations 1955.
