Fisheries Management Act 1994

The TAF Committee is to keep its fishing determinations under review.

Following a review, the TAF Committee may decide not to alter its existing fishing determination, to revoke its fishing determination or to make a new fishing determination.

A review of a fishing determination made by the TAF Committee (an initial determination) may be carried out without calling for public submissions on the determination if—

the review is conducted, and any new or different fishing determination made as a result of the review is made, within 6 months after the initial determination was made, and

before making the initial determination, the TAF Committee called for public submissions in relation to the initial determination.

However, the TAF Committee must call for public submissions if the Minister directs the TAF Committee to call for public submissions in relation to a review.

If the TAF Committee conducts a review of an initial determination without calling for public submissions, the TAF Committee must, in making any decision in relation to the review, have regard to any public submissions to which it was required to have regard when it made the initial determination.
