Permit types

There are four classes of stock permits, as outlined under Rural Lands Protection Act 1998:

• Walking Stock Permit
• Grazing Stock Permit
• Roadside Grazing Stock Permit
• Annual Stock Movement Permit

Walking Stock Permit

This type of permit is used for long-distance travel by travelling stock walking from one Board to another. Local stock may also utilise this type of permit in times of drought to travel throughout the Board district.

Grazing Stock Permit

This is generally issued to the landholder adjoining an enclosed TSR for use over an extended period. It is a condition of the permit that travelling stock are still permitted to access the TSR.

Roadside Grazing Stock Permit

This type of permit is issued for a short period of time over a specific section of road in times of drought or for hazard reduction. It is also normally issued to the landholder adjoining the area as there are no watering facilities and so stock are moved back to the property at night.

Annual Stock Movement Permit

These permits apply to routine movements of stock between two properties owned or occupied by the same person and are therefore issued to local stockowners.
