[1] Appendix

(2)

If the components of a fishing business include shares (of any class) in one or more relevant share management fisheries, the management charge in respect of that fishing business (the

Fisheries Management Legislation Further Amendment (Fees, Charges and 2013 No 477
Contributions) Regulation 2013
Amendments relating to fees, charges and contributions Schedule 1

maximum management charge) is not to exceed the total of the

following amounts:

(a)

for the first class of shares held by the fishing business— $1,064,

(b)

for the second class of shares held by the fishing business—$1,064,

(c)

for the third and each subsequent class of shares held by the fishing business—the discounted amount for that class of shares,

(d) $500.
(3) The discounted amount for a class of shares is calculated as
follows:

(a)

for the third class of shares held by the fishing business— $638 (being 60% of $1,064, rounded to the nearest dollar),

(b)

for the fourth class of shares held by the fishing business— 60% of the discounted amount for the third class of shares held by the fishing business (rounded to the nearest dollar),

(c)

for the fifth class of shares held by the fishing business— 60% of the discounted amount for the fourth class of shares held by the fishing business (rounded to the nearest dollar),

(d)

for the sixth class of shares held by the fishing business— 60% of the discounted amount for the fifth class of shares held by the fishing business (rounded to the nearest dollar),

(e)

and so on until all classes of shares held by the fishing business have been accounted for.

(3A)

If the components of a fishing business for which a management charge is payable include a southern fish trawl endorsement, the calculation of the maximum management charge is modified as follows:

(a)

the endorsement is to be treated as if it were the first class of shares held by the fishing business,

(b)

in subclause (2) (a), the amount to be added for that first class of shares is nil.

Note. No management charge is included for the endorsement because an annual contribution of $1,064 is payable in respect of the endorsement under section 115A of the Act.

(3B) When rounding amounts under this clause, an amount of 50 cents
is to be rounded down.
2013 No 477 Fisheries Management Legislation Further Amendment (Fees, Charges and
Contributions) Regulation 2013
Schedule 1 Amendments relating to fees, charges and contributions
(3C) For the purposes of this clause, a class of shares is held by a fishing business if the shares are a component of that fishing business.

[2]      Appendix, clause 10A (5)

Insert in alphabetical order:

class of share means a class of share in a relevant share

management fishery, as listed in:

(a)

clause 5 of the Appendix to the Fisheries Management (Estuary General Share Management Plan) Regulation 2006, or

(b)

clause 5 of the Appendix to the Fisheries Management (Estuary Prawn Trawl Share Management Plan) Regulation 2006, or

(c)

clause 5 of the Appendix to the Fisheries Management (Ocean Hauling Share Management Plan) Regulation 2006, or

(e)

clause 4 of the Appendix to the Fisheries Management (Ocean Trap and Line Share Management Plan) Regulation 2006, or

(d)

clause 4 of the Appendix to the Fisheries Management (Ocean Trawl Share Management Plan) Regulation 2006.

southern fish trawl endorsement has the same meaning as it has
in the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2010.
