Fisheries Management Amendment (Threatened Species Conservation) Order (No 1) 2003

under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

I, the Minister for Fisheries, on the recommendation of the Fisheries Scientific Committee, make the following Order under section 220D of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

Dated, this 4th day of July 2003.

IAN MICHAEL MACDONALD, M.L.C.,

Minister for Fisheries

Explanatory note
The object of this Order is to list the aquatic ecological community in the natural drainage system of the lowland catchment of the Darling River as an endangered ecological community in Part 3 of Schedule 4 to the Fisheries Management Act 1994 (the Act), following the recommendation to do so by the Fisheries Scientific Committee.

The effect of the listing of the community in Part 3 of Schedule 4 is to make the community subject to the controls of Part 7A of the Act, relating to the conservation of threatened species, populations and ecological communities of fish and marine vegetation.

The Committee has recommended this listing because it considers that the community is likely to become extinct in nature unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival cease to operate.

The Committee’s recommendation is available for inspection at all NSW Fisheries Offices and on the Fisheries Scientific Committee website at
