AVA Submission - Victoria - Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2024 and Regulatory Impact Statement

The Game Regulations are a critical component of Victoria's regulatory framework for recreational game hunting (including deer, game ducks, and Stubble Quail).

They are made under the Wildlife Act 1975 and set out a range of matters for recreational hunting, such as licensing requirements, default bag and season limits for game and key restrictions and offences related to game hunting.

The Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (DJSIR) has developed the proposed Wildlife (Game) Regulations (2024) (proposed Regulations) to replace the current Wildlife (Game) Interim Regulations 2023 (current Regulations) which will expire in September 2024.

The Victorian Division of AVA has been pleased to provide a submission on the proposed Regulations and Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) which can be found here.
