Supreme Court reaffirms NSW commercial fishing reforms

16 Feb 2018

The NSW Supreme Court today has upheld the NSW Government’s Business Adjustment Program (BAP) commercial fishing reforms.

A commercial fisher from Wallis Lake sought to overturn the BAP. After careful consideration, the Judge found in favour of the NSW Government.

The NSW Government’s Business Adjustment Program will continue to be implemented and enforced, as planned.

These reforms have cut red tape, established linkages between shares and catch or effort and most importantly of all, provided more certainty for fishers to grow their businesses.
