FISHERIES LEVY (SOUTH EAST TRAWL FISHERY) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)

Paragraphs 5(bc) and 5(bd) of the Fisheries Levy Act 1984 (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.

Subsection 6(1) of the Act provides, so far as is relevant, that the amount of levy imposed on the allocation or renewal of the allocation of a unit of fishing capacity is such amount as is provided in the regulations.

The Fisheries Levy (South East Trawl Fishery) Regulations provide that levy is payable on the initial allocation and renewal of the allocation of units of fishing capacity under the South East Trawl Fishery Preliminary Management Plan.

The Fisheries Levy (Southern Shark Fishery) Regulations provide that levy is payable on the allocation and renewal of the allocation of units of fishing capacity under the Southern Shark Fishery Management Plan.

The Fisheries Levy (South East Trawl Fishery) Regulations (Amendment) will reduce the amount of levy payable both on initial allocation, and renewal of allocation of units from $90.60 to $57.14, and $30.14 to $27.00, respectively. The Fisheries Levy (Southern Shark Fishery) Regulations (Amendment) will reduce the amount of levy payable for both initial allocation and renewal of allocation of units from $570.00 to $500.00. The Levy is to recover 90% of management costs of each fishery.

These reductions have been made possible following close examination of management of the fisheries which have led to elimination of unnecessary costs.

Details of the Regulations are set out in the Attachment.

The Regulations came into effect upon Gazettal.
