Fisheries Act 2000

The conservator may make guidelines (the conservator guidelines) about the following:

the exercise of the conservator’s functions under this Act;

matters relating to fisheries licences (except for fisheries licenses involving a significant activity);

the conservation and management of fisheries;

any other matters prescribed by regulation.

The conservator guidelines may apply, adopt or incorporate an instrument as in force from time to time.

A conservator guideline is a notifiable instrument.

The Legislation Act, section 47 (6) does not apply in relation to an instrument applied, adopted or incorporated as in force from time to time under this section.

Note An instrument applied, adopted or incorporated under this section does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (6) does not apply (see Legislation Act s 47 (7)).

In this section:

significant activity, in relation to a fisheries licence, means—

commercial fishing; or

commercial trade of fish; or

any other activity prescribed by regulation.
