The location and size of the temporary control area shall be such as the Department considers necessary to prevent the spread of disease.
Where a temporary control area has been established, a person –
shall not move any animal onto or off a holding in the area or move any animal into or out of the area except under and in accordance with the conditions of a licence issued by the Department; and
shall, if required to do so by an inspector, detain any animal, located on a holding within the area, on a specified part of the holding.
Any holding which is partly inside and partly outside a temporary control area shall be deemed to be wholly inside that area.
