Permission to shoot ?

Post by Die Judicii » 18 Feb 2023, 7:59 pm

Does anyone here know,, Can a rent paying tenant on a rural property give consent legally for another person to shoot a feral cat ?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it has to be the actual land owner, but might be worth asking the question none the less.
Found this, not sure if that helps?

Under Section 13 of the Act, a licence applicant whose genuine reason is ‘sports or target shooting’ must be a current member of an approved shooting club. Anyone seeking to licence a firearm for ‘recreational shooting’ must produce written permission from a landowner authorising them to shoot on the owner’s rural land.

But that's more for someone wanting to register a firearm for shooting on said property, not sure if the process differs for people with already registered firearms.

G'day Die judicii,
According to the Qld Weapons Act 1990, Section 56, Sub (1), "In this section-owner of private land includes the occupier of the land", so yes, the tenant occupying the land can give consent.

This is of course predicated on there not being some restriction in the lease prohibiting the tenant from shooting on the owners land.

Soo, this prompted me to check out the Vic Act. It talks about permission from the owner or occupier of the land.
What happens if the farm manager gives you permission? But the owner does not know.....
(In my case I did meet the owner once and he is ok with me whistling on his farm, so all good.)

Thanks for all input fellas,,,,,,, I've canned the whole thing due to complications between the tenant and the land owner.

A manager is different to a tenant though.
