Due diligence requests for livestock property sales
If you're considering buying a pastoral property in the Northern Territory (NT), your solicitor or legal representative can request certain information from the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (DITT).
This includes whether the property is subject to any notices, orders or restrictions around livestock diseases.

The department can provide information on:
- orders or notices issued under the Livestock Act 2008

Departmental officers can't provide other information except under a subpoena or freedom of information request.
You should note that Australia, including the NT, was declared free of:
