Police have ordered the NSW Game Council's suspended chief executive to face court over allegations of illegal hunting in the state's west last year.

Greg McFarland was suspended from his role of acting chief executive by the State Government in January over allegations of trespassing and the inhumane killing of a goat.

At the time, Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson said the allegations related to hunting on private property.

But yesterday police released the list of charges McFarland will face in Cobar Local Court in May, including entering a park without permission and using a gun in inclosed lands.

Police say he was with another man at the time, who faces similar charges related to the hunting trip at Mount Hope in December.

The news that the matter will proceed to court is a blow for the State Government, which is regularly asked to defend its decision to allow hunting in national parks.

The Game Council is the body that will be issuing shooting licenses and monitoring the Government's plan.

The controversial program is yet to begin.

Ms Hodgkinson has issued a statement saying the alleged behaviour is disappointing.

She says her government is carrying out a review of the Game Council which will be released in May.
