📜 Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Amendment Bill 2005
The Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Amendment Bill 2005 amends the Agriculture and Related Resources Protection Act 1976 to change how rates are raised to control declared plants and animals on pastoral land. It removes the general agriculture protection rate and enables rates to be set for specific pastoral zones, matched dollar-for-dollar by the State Government, while retaining the ability to raise further unmatched rates.
Impact
Pastoral leaseholders in Western Australia will be affected by the changes to rating provisions for pest control. The bill aims to provide Zone Control Authorities with greater flexibility to raise revenue for local pest control programs, potentially leading to more effective and targeted pest management.
