AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. Camden Sound is very topical at the moment. (1) The drafting of legislation pursuant to the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 in relation to the proposed Camden Sound marine park has not commenced. Drafting of the legislation will commence after it has been determined what prohibitions on fishing, if any, are to apply within the marine park. (2)–(3) Not applicable.
