Mooring Regulations 1998

A recreational mooring site is a mooring site for a pleasure vessel.

Subject to this regulation and regulation 7D, a mooring licensee whose mooring licence specifies a recreational mooring site has the exclusive use of the mooring on that mooring site by —

the licensed vessel for that mooring site; and

any additional vessel for that mooring site.

A mooring licensee whose mooring licence specifies a recreational mooring site may agree, in the application for the licence or by written notice given to the CEO at any anniversary of the grant of the licence, to allow the mooring site to be used as a shared‑use recreational mooring site.

A mooring licensee who agrees to allow a recreational mooring site to be used as a shared‑use recreational mooring site may withdraw that agreement by written notice given to the CEO at any anniversary of the grant of the mooring licence.

Subject to regulation 7D, if subregulation (3) applies to a mooring licensee, the CEO must authorise the licensee’s licensed vessel under regulation 7D(2), without payment of the fee referred to in regulation 7D(3)(b), to use the mooring on any other shared‑use recreational mooring site.

The authorisation of a licensed vessel under regulation 7D(2) by the operation of subregulation (5) —

has no effect during any period when the mooring licensee’s annual mooring licence fee remains unpaid after the day on which payment is required under regulation 13(2); and

is cancelled if the mooring licensee gives notice under subregulation (4).

If a mooring licensee sells a licensed vessel (the sold vessel) that is authorised under regulation 7D(2) by the operation of subregulation (5), the sold vessel continues to be authorised under those provisions until the next anniversary of the grant of the mooring licence.

If another vessel (the substituted vessel) is substituted for the sold vessel as the licensed vessel following a request by the mooring licensee under regulation 25(1), the substituted vessel cannot be authorised under regulation 7D(2) by the operation of subregulation (5) until the payment of the annual mooring licence fee at the next anniversary of the grant of the mooring licence.
