Individual aquaculture strategies
20 Individual aquaculture strategies
If a sector‑based aquaculture strategy is not in place in relation to an industry sector to which a licensee belongs, the licensee must have an aquaculture strategy approved by the Minister (an individual aquaculture strategy).
Subject to regulation 21, if, at any time, the Minister is not satisfied as to the adequacy of an individual aquaculture strategy, the
Minister may require the strategy to be amended and resubmitted for approval within a specified period in a modified form (which may be specified by the
Minister).
If a licensee fails to resubmit a strategy as required, the licensee is guilty of an offence. Maximum penalty: Maximum penalty: $5 000. Expiation fee: $500.
Before requiring an individual aquaculture strategy to be resubmitted, the Minister must give the licensee written notice of the proposed action, inviting the licensee to make written submissions in relation to the proposed action within a period specified in the notice (being not less than
14 days from the day on which the notice is given to the licensee).
