Abstract
Issued Pursuant to Section 246 of the Fish Resources Management Act 1994.
Introduction
The Executive Director of the Fisheries Department of Western Australia performs many functions under the provisions of the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 ('the Act'). These functions often include decisions on whether to grant an authorisation in a particular case. This decision may involve consideration of the factors of what constitutes a 'fit and proper person' to hold an authorisation and in the circumstances whether the grant of ari authority is 'in the better interests of industry.' It is my function as Minister to provide policy guidelines as to which factors should be considered when dealing with such matters. The publication of these guidelines will provide direction to the Executive Director and will be indicative to and provide a level of certainty for the public and industry of the formal processes that are followed to arrive at a decision in these matters.
The purpose of guidelines then is to establish the principles, on matters that I consider to be of importance which relate to particular topics.
