Legislative Council Second ReadingLABill 17416 April 2020

The Aquatic Resources Management Amendment Bill 2020 amends the Aquatic Resources Management Act 2016 to allow for a smoother transition of fisheries management from the Fish Resources Management Act 1994. It enables the division of resource shares into different types and corrects administrative errors.

Impact

Commercial and recreational fishers are affected as the bill changes how fishing resources are allocated and managed. It matters because it aims to ensure sustainable fishing practices and resource management.

Key Changes

["Allows resource shares to be divided into different types (e.g., by zone or species).", "Broadens the definition of an aquatic resource.", "Removes the requirement for the CEO to publish notice of decisions to grant, vary or transfer an aquaculture licence."]
