AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Regulations are being drafted. The precise date of gazettal will depend on the drafting process. It is my intention that the regulations will take effect on 1 July 2003. (2)-(3) Yes, this is already under way and in some respects has already been completed prior to the announcement of new arrangements for the recreational fishing sector. I announced a review of the commercial fin fish - wet-line - industry in July last year. I will shortly finalise appointments to two committees to develop recommendations for a draft management plan and access criteria. To the extent that I said that in some respects it had already been completed, I note that I have already approved a management plan for the Spanish mackerel fishery. A process to implement a management plan for the west coast estuarine fishery is also under way.
