NO to Annual Licence/Registration Fees for Horses in New South Wales

Published by Carol Rushby on Jun 18, 2008

We, the undersigned, request that the the New South Wales Minister for Agriculture and the State Government refrain from implementing the following recommendations of the Integrated Marketing Communications Pty Ltd review into the structure of the NSW Rural Lands Protection Board (RLPB),

"Opportunities (p30)
Provision of registration for horses, and other non-commercial livestock classes as required"..

"All non-commercial or recreational livestock in the new board regions should be included on RLPB databases and this livestock should be subject to an annual registration or license fee."

We strongly object to the the implementation of this recommendation as we feel that it is aimed specifically at horse owners. Horses are already recorded on the RLPB database and an 'Annual Registration Fee' is little more than a de-facto EI-Levy and is simply another money-grabbing exercise from the NSW State Government. Any such fee will place yet another burden on the horse owners of NSW and will further impact their enjoyment of their animals and participation in a range of activities.

We also wish to record our objections to any similar schemes that may be considered by any other State Government now or in in the future!
