Fisheries Regulations 2019

A person must not remove any abalone from its packaging.

Subregulation (1) does not apply to a person who—

removes packaging from abalone at a place where the abalone is to be consumed; or

is acting in accordance with an authority of the Victorian Fisheries Authority under subregulation (3).

For the purposes of subregulation (2)(b), the Victorian Fisheries Authority may, in writing, authorise a person to remove abalone from its packaging, if the Victorian Fisheries Authority considers it necessary or reasonable in the circumstances of a particular case.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority must specify in an authority under subregulation (3)—

the place at which the authority applies; and

the period during which the authority applies; and

the circumstances in which the authority applies; and

any conditions which apply to the authority.
