FISHERIES LEVY (SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERY) REGULATIONS AMENDMENT

Paragraphs 5 (bc) and 5 (bd) of the Act provide for the imposition of levy upon the allocation and renewal of the allocation, respectively, of units of fishing capacity, being units of fishing capacity prescribed for the purposes of those paragraphs.

The Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery Management Plan provides for the allocation to persons, and the assignment to boats, of units of fishing capacity in that fishery. Unit holders are allowed access to the fishery when levy has been paid.

The Regulation specifies the amount of levy (which has been increased from $89.18 to $102.61) in respect of each unit of fishing capacity for the 1992/93 southern bluefin tuna season.

The Regulation took effect on 1 November 1992.
