Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
In 2002 and 2003, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPIF) oversaw the development of a Fisheries Resource Allocation Policy (the Policy). The Policy was developed in close cooperation with key stakeholders and represented the first strategic policy to be completed by the Minister's strategic policy council. The Policy provides a fair and transparent process for making allocation decisions or assessing proposals that advocate changes to current allocation arrangements. At the heart of the Policy is a set of guiding principles that should be adhered to when making decisions related to allocation of fisheries resources. Since its implementation the number of inadequately justified reallocation proposals has fallen dramatically, demonstrating that it is providing an important filtration mechanism. While the Policy has not been formally applied to a proposal, it has proved a useful tool for management planners. The Policy provides consistency, transparency, sets high standards for allocation proposals and recognises the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders. This paper describes the Policy, how it was developed, the benefits that have accrued and other related issues.
