Explanatory note

This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order comes into force on 6 May 2022 and amends Schedule 3 of the Wildlife Act 1953 (the Act).

Schedule 3 of the Act lists areas (commonly known as upland game preserves) where certain wildlife may be hunted or killed subject to conditions. This order adds 2 new areas in the Hawke’s Bay Fish and Game Region and 1 area in the Nelson/Marlborough Fish and Game Region.

This order also revokes clause 3 of the Wildlife Order 2019. That provision would have revoked amendments made to the Act by that order at the close of 6 May 2022. Those amendments, which relate to partridge and pheasant, remain in force indefinitely.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.

Date of notification in Gazette: 21 April 2022.

This order is administered by the Department of Conservation.
