Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2010
The Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2002 was subject to staged repeal on 1 September 2010 as required under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989. Under this Act, most regulations are subject to automatic repeal every five years. This process generally involves reviewing the Regulation and determining whether to allow the Regulation to lapse or be remade with or without amendment.
The Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2010 commenced on 1 September 2010 after online notification on the NSW Legislation website on 27 August 2010. The Regulation is made under the Fisheries Management Act 1994. The objects of the Act are to conserve, develop and share the fishery resources of the State for the benefit of present and future generations. The Regulation seeks to ensure the objects of the Act are achieved by promoting ecologically sustainable fishing and viable fishing industries that provide social and economic benefit to NSW.
