Fisheries Management Act 1991

AFMA is to keep a Register of Statutory Fishing Rights Options (the Register).

The Register may be kept wholly or partly by use of a computer.

If the Register is kept wholly or partly by use of a computer:

references in this Act to an entry in the Register include references to a record of particulars kept by use of a computer and comprising the Register or part of the Register; and

references in this Act to particulars being registered, or entered in the Register, include references to the keeping of a record of those particulars as part of the Register by use of the computer.

The Register must, in relation to each statutory fishing rights option:

set out the name and address of the person who for the time being holds the option; and

contain such particulars as are necessary to identify the former plan whose revocation gave rise to the option; and

set out the number and class of statutory fishing rights to which the option relates; and

if the option has been exercised in respect of any statutory fishing rights—state the date of the exercise and the number and class of rights in respect of which the option has been exercised; and

if the option has lapsed in respect of any statutory fishing rights—state the date of the lapse and the number and class of rights in respect of which the option has lapsed.
