The exact area of Green Island may vary slightly depending on factors like tides and weather conditions. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have the specific numerical data for the exact area of Green Island.

How to have a license for a rabbit in Qld as a pet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can't. Rabbits are banned as pets in Queensland as they pose too great a risk to the environment through the actions of irresponsible pet owners who happily abandon their pets out in the bush. Rabbit licences are also not issued for educational purposes. There is no need for a school to keep a pet rabbit when a guinea pig will do just as well.

That means you cannot get a licence to keep rabbits in Queensland. Exceptions may be made for certain animal sanctuaries, but some of these keep rabbits illegally - or out of ignorance - because it is too difficult for them to obtain the necessary permission. Fines are quite high and it is not worth the risk.
