Fisheries Management (General)

Amendment (Clarence River)

Regulation 2005

under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

IAN MICHAEL MACDONALD, M.L.C.,

Minister for Primary Industries

Explanatory note
Clause 41 of the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2002 currently allows the use of a meshing net for taking fish in certain waters if the method used is splashing (that is, by shooting the net, immediately splashing and retrieving the net as a continuous operation). In the waters of the Clarence River, however, an alternative method of splashing is also used. The object of this Regulation is to allow for this alternative method of using a meshing net in the waters of the Clarence River.

This Regulation is made under the Fisheries Management Act 1994, including sections 23 and 289 (the general regulation-making power).

Schedule 1	Amendment

(Clause 2)

Clause 41 Meshing net

Insert after clause 41 (7):

(7A) If the net is used in the waters of the Clarence River (including the waters referred to in item 1 (a) of the Table to this clause) an alternative method of splashing (that is, shooting the net in a ring or semi-circle, remaining in attendance of the net while it is set and commencing retrieval of the net within 45 minutes of the net being shot) may be used instead of the method described in subclause (2) (a). To avoid doubt, subclauses (2) (b) and (3)–(7) do not apply when the net is being used by that alternative method of splashing.
