About the plan
This plan has been developed to guide the sustainable management of commercially harvested kangaroos in South Australia. The plan satisfies the requirements of the Commonwealth's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) as a Wildlife Trade Management Plan and meets the legislative requirements of the South Australian Government as a management plan under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (NPW Act). The plan also aims to meet community expectations that kangaroo harvesting methods will not breach the Animal Welfare Act 1985. This plan is current for a maximum five-year period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2024 as per the requirements of the EPBC Act.
