The dataset identifies the conditions under which hunting of given Game and Pest animal groups and species is permitted. The rules used to produce this product were developed by the legislation unit with the Land Management Division of the Department of Environment , Land, Water and Planning in consultation with the Game Management Authority, VicPolice, Parks Victoria and other relevant government authorities. These rules are based on requirements in the Forest Act, National Park Act, Crown land (Reserve) Act, Land Act, Wildlife Act.
