2. Compliance with Regulation 73(2) and 73(3) is determined predominantly from information provided on the apiary site permit application form, as completed and signed by the apiarist. Other means of verification of hive numbers are through reference to the Department of Agriculture registration database which draws on information supplied when apiarists register and renew their registration as a beekeeper. Apiarists may also be requested to supply a current copy of their Department of Agriculture hive registration details. Information provided by beekeepers on the Department of Agriculture registration form is subject to penalty for providing false information. 3. Regulations 73(2) and 73(3) are designed to prevent the accumulation of sites beyond an individual apiarist's entitlement. As an outcome of the National Competition Policy Review it is intended to repeal Forest Management Regulations 73(2) and 73(3). Following the repeal of these regulations market forces will determine the level of ownership of apiary sites.
