Fisheries Management Amendment Regulations 2004 (No. 3)

Subsection 168(1) of the Fisheries Management Act 1991 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed, in carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has reviewed the Statutory Fishing Rights Allocation Review Panel forms (the SFRARP forms) in the Fisheries Management Regulations 1992 (the Principal Regulations) and instructed AFMA to amend them to ensure they are current and up to date and contain all the necessary information.
