Fisheries Management Act 1994

The notification of a fishing closure is to be published in the Gazette.

However, if the Minister considers that the fishing closure is required urgently, the Minister may publish the notification using either or both of the following methods—

by causing a copy of the notification to be exhibited in a prominent place adjacent to the waters to which the fishing closure applies,

by publishing the notification on a NSW Government website used by the Department.

In any such urgent case, the Minister is to publish the notification in the Gazette as soon as practicable.

The Minister may take any other steps the Minister considers reasonable to publicly notify a fishing closure.

This section applies to an amendment or revocation of a fishing closure in the same way as it applies to a fishing closure.
