Fisheries Management Act 1994

The Secretary is required to keep a register of charter fishing business determinations.

For each charter fishing business determination there is to be recorded in the register—

the name of the person or persons who own the business the subject of the determination, and

the number allocated by the Secretary to the charter fishing business, and

particulars of the components of the charter fishing business, and

such other particulars as are required by the regulations to be recorded in the register in relation to the charter fishing business.

The register may be kept wholly or partly by means of a computer.

The register is to be made available for public inspection at the head office of the Department during ordinary business hours.

If the register is kept wholly or partly by means of a computer, subsection (4) may be complied with by making the contents of the register available on a NSW Government website used by the Department.

The Secretary may correct any error in or omission from the register.

A certificate signed or purporting to be signed by the Secretary, or a person employed in the Department who is authorised in writing by the Secretary to exercise the functions conferred by this subsection, that certifies that, on a specified date or during a specified period, the particulars contained in the register as to specified matters were as so specified, is admissible in any proceedings and is evidence of the matters so certified.
