transporter must ensure that any ramp used to load or unload the livestock
during the journey —

aligned correctly with the vehicle being used to transport the livestock; and
(b) is
positioned so that the gap between the vehicle and the ramp is sufficiently
narrow so as to minimise the risk of injury to the livestock.
Penalty for this subregulation: a fine of
$7 500.

transporter must, before moving the vehicle being used to transport the
livestock, ensure that each pen holding the livestock on the vehicle, and each

Penalty for this subregulation: a fine of
$7 500.

unloaded.
