FISHERIES LEVY ACT 1984
FISHERIES LEVY (SOUTHERN BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERY) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Paragraphs 5(be) and 5(bd) of the Fisheries Levy Act 1984 provide for the imposition of levy upon the allocation and renewal of the allocation, respectively, of units of fishing capacity prescribed for the purposes of those paragraphs.
The Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery Management Plan provides for the allocation to persons, and the assignment to boats, of units of fishing capacity in that fishery. Unit holders are allowed access to the fishery when levy has been paid.
The Regulation amends regulation 6 of the principal regulations which specifies the amount of levy (increasing by approximately 8% from $74.70 to $81.00) in respect of each unit of fishing capacity for the 1990/91 southern bluefin tuna season.
The Regulation took effect on Gazettal.
