Fisheries Management (Abalone Share Management Plan) Regulation 2000

An endorsement holder must, as soon as practicable but not later than 30 minutes after landing abalone—

weigh the abalone using accurate scales, and

place the abalone in a container of a kind suitable for the transport of abalone, and

complete the relevant documentation, insert it in a waterproof envelope of an approved kind and attach the envelope to the container in which the abalone, or any part of the abalone, is placed.

(Repealed)

The endorsement holder must take all reasonable steps to ensure that—

any abalone landed is not moved more than 50 metres from the point of landing until subclause (1) has been complied with, and

the abalone is transported together with the relevant documentation, attached to the container as required by subclause (1), and

the relevant documentation remains attached to the container until it reaches the premises of an approved abalone processor.

An endorsement holder must not be in possession of abalone for sale on land unless the abalone is in a container to which the relevant documentation is attached.

Subclause (3) does not apply if the endorsement holder is less than 50 metres from the point of landing the abalone.

An endorsement holder must forward a copy of a daily log sheet, completed in accordance with the instructions in the docket book, to the Secretary by facsimile transmission (or other means as may be approved by the Secretary) within 24 hours after the end of the day on which the daily log sheet was required to be completed.

A contravention of this clause is an endorsement holder offence.

In this clause, relevant documentation means a daily log sheet or the form known as the “NSW DPI Abalone Disposal Record” provided to shareholders by the Department.
