I thank Hon Giz Watson for notice of the question. (1) I have granted approval for regulations to be drafted under the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 that will prohibit the use of anchors in the waters of the Cottesloe reef fish habitat protection area. These regulations are currently being drafted by parliamentary counsel. (2) Not applicable. (3) I fully expect the regulations to be in force by the coming summer holiday period in December 2003.
