FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 - SECT 57H

Information to be included in the Fishing Permits Register

  (1)   AFMA must register each fishing permit that it grants under section   32 by entering in the Fishing Permits Register:

  (a)   the name of the holder of the permit; and

  (b)   the area of the AFZ, or the fishery, that is specified in the permit; and

  (c)   the period for which the permit remains in force; and

  (d)   if the permit is granted in respect of a nominated boat or if, after the grant of the permit, a boat is nominated--the name and distinguishing symbols for the nominated boat; and

  (e)   such other particulars (if any) as are prescribed.

  (2)   Subject to subsections   (3) and (4), if any of the particulars required to be recorded under subsection   (1) changes, AFMA must, as soon as it becomes aware of that change, alter the Fishing Permits Register to record that change.

  (3)   If, in relation to a boat particulars of which are included in the Fishing Permits Register:

  (a)   the fishing permit covering that boat is suspended or the suspension is revoked; or

  (b)   the fishing permit covering that boat is cancelled or ceases to have effect;

AFMA must record in the Fishing Permits Register the fact of that suspension, revocation, cancellation or cessation and also the reason for it.

  (4)   Where, because of a decision made by AFMA, a Joint Authority, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal or a court, a record made by AFMA under subsection   (3) is no longer correct, AFMA must rectify the Fishing Permits Register accordingly.
