Registration as Non-Farming Property Owner - Western Australia

Description

You will need this registration if you intend to operate a non-farming (supply chain) property where livestock is kept. A non-farming property is:

  • an abattoir
  • an export depot
  • a transit depot
  • a holding yard
  • a pound
  • a saleyard
  • a show ground.

Once your application has been processed, you will be issued with a registration certificate and a Property Identification Code (PIC) card. You will not be issued with a brand or earmark.
