Abstract
This report has been prepared by the Compensation Working Group (WG) to provide advice to the Minister for Fisheries on improving Western Australia’s (WA) fisheries compensation processes under two key legislative frameworks:
- Fisheries adjustment schemes, under the Fisheries Adjustment Scheme Act 1987
- (FAS Act), and
- Statutory compensation under Fishing and Related Industries Compensation (Marine Reserves) Act 1997 (FRICMA).
This work has been undertaken as a precursor to the larger scale adjustment and compensation processes that will be required as part of the implementation of several marine parks throughout the Kimberley and South Coast of WA.
