Fisheries Management Act 1994

A prohibition order may only be made within 6 months after the repeat offender is convicted of the fisheries offence giving rise to the order.

A prohibition order may be made even if the person against whom the order is made has a legal or equitable interest in any boat or premises to which the prohibition order relates, or an entitlement to use the boat or premises to carry out fishing or other activities.

A court may not make a prohibition order unless—

it has given the repeat offender written notice of the application to make the order and of the proposed terms of the order that has been sought, and

it has given the repeat offender a reasonable opportunity to make submissions to the court on the matter.

A prohibition order under this section takes effect—

if the person to whom it relates is present in court when it is made, at the time it is made, or

in any other case, when it is served on the person to whom it relates.
