A4.27 – Unquantifiable minor cost of transport requirements – S11.1 and S11.2 (Wombats)
Under proposed standard S11.1, the operator transporting a wombat would be required to ensure that the wombat is transported in a solid, secure container measuring at least 10% longer than the length of the animal and with sufficient width to enable the wombat to lie comfortably on its side. Also, under proposed standard S11.2, the operator transporting a wombat would be required to ensure that each adult wombat is transported individually. Wombats carrying pre-emerged pouch young would be exempt. These clauses would result in 5% of non-compliant facilities having to obtain both additional containers and ones that would meet spatial requirements. This is unlikely to be a significant cost. However, given that the population and frequency of wombat transport is unknown – these clauses remain unquantifiable.
A4.28 – Summary of quantifiable incremental costs under the taxon standards Option B and C1
A summary of the 10-year quantifiable costs of the proposed taxon standards under Option B is presented in Table A4.45 and equal to $0.78m.
