Commercial and non-commercial wallaby harvest quotas for Tasmania (1 July 2007 - 30 June 2008)
The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries and Water decided to withdraw its harvest quota submission for 2007-08 when it became apparent that there was a lack of export market demand for wallaby products. Both non-commercial and commercial harvesting for the domestic market did occur during 2007-08, but no harvest quotas were approved under the EPBC Act. Consequently, no wallaby products harvested in the 2007-08 quota period can be exported.
