Standards for exhibiting animals at mobile establishments in NSW

Summary

The Standards for exhibiting animals at mobile establishments in NSW are prescribed standards pursuant to Clause 8(1) of the Exhibited Animals Protection Regulation 2010.

These standards apply to the exhibition of animals at mobile establishments (other than circuses) by Approval and Permit holders authorised under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986 (EAPA). (These standards do not apply to the exhibition of circus animals as these are covered by the Standards for Exhibiting Circus Animals in New South Wales.) These standards must be used in conjunction with all other standards and policies prepared by the NSW Department of Primary Industries.

The standards within this publication have been primarily developed to ensure the welfare of animals kept for exhibit purposes but cover a range of areas including psychological and physical animal welfare; educational value of exhibits; public safety; guidelines for new or existing displays; and legal effect.
