One of those quaint prescribed acts of environmental significance listed in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Protection Act 1993 (SA). I had no idea so I looked it up. Thought I may as well share!
A fellmongery is a operated by, unsurprisingly, a fellmonger. A fellmonger is a person who prepares skins for tanning or leather making by removing fur or wool.
So, it you happen to harbour a desired to begin such a business, please note that it will be considered an act of environmental significance where "the conduct of works for the commercial preservation or treatment of animal skins or hides being works processing more than 5 tonnes of skins or hides per year, but excluding—
(a) the processing of skins or hides by primary producers in the course of primary
production activities outside township areas; or
(b) the processing of skins or hides in the course of taxidermy."
Of course, you may prefer to become a taxidermist instead and revel in the exclusion clause!!
