AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) I advised the charter boat industry in February this year that a review of charter boat licensing and management would be undertaken by the Department of Fisheries. It has been necessary to finalise and implement the recreational fishing arrangements on the west coast to progress the charter review in a meaningful way. Now that the west coast arrangements are settled, the department is developing a process and directions for the charter review.
