You will need a permit to move or graze livestock on public land. There are two permits which cover travelling and grazing livestock:
- stock route travel permit
- grazing (agistment) permit.
You will need a stock route travel permit to move stock on the stock route network. The stock route network is a series of roads where the movement of livestock is allowed. Camping and water reserves, pasture reserves, trucking reserves and government-controlled land can also form part of the stock route network.
You must apply for a stock route travel permit to move stock on:
- stock routes
- reserves for travelling stock
- roads and other land under local government control
- unallocated state land adjoining any of these listed land types.
You will need a grazing (agistment) permit to graze / agist stock on:
- stock routes
- reserves for travelling stock
- roads and other land under local government control.
You will need to contact the council for a copy of their stock route network management plan and a list of their preferred agistment locations.
Livestock can include alpacas, asses, camels, cattle, donkeys, goats, horses, llamas, mules, sheep or vicunas.
