Where this comes from

The official form is published by publications.qld.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-22.

When to use it

Use when a person who has been given an information notice wants an internal review of an animal welfare direction, a seizure direction or a forfeiture notice. Apply within 14 days. The application does not stay the decision.

How AI may be used

AI may list the notice, its date and the orders it contains; the lawyer decides whether to apply, writes the grounds, and the client lodges Form 1170.

AI may

  • Record the decision named in the notice, the date the information notice was given, and the fourteenth day
  • List the orders in the direction in the words of the notice
  • Flag an application that would be outside 14 days of that date

AI must not

  • Must not decide that the direction should be changed or set aside
  • Must not write the grounds or lodge Form 1170
  • Must not say the direction is paused because a review has been lodged

The lawyer checks

  • The applicant is an interested person as the Act uses that term. The form says the Act defines it
  • The application is made within 14 days of the date the applicant is given the information notice
  • The original decision continues unless a Magistrates Court stays it under section 196
  • The form is sent to the address or the email printed on the current Form 1170

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
