34 Availability of grants of boat SFRs (Act s 29 (3))

If a person is eligible for the grant of 1 or more boat SFRs under section 28, a grant of 1 boat SFR for each boat permit held by the person is available to the person.

Note 1 If, under subsection 29 (4) of the Act, SFRs are made available to a person, AFMA must notify the person (and each other person who registered under section 26 of the Act) about that fact and give a statement of reasons.

Note 2 Section 30 of the Act provides that, within 30 days of SFRs being available to a person, the person must pay the amount of any charge due and payable under the Statutory Fishing Rights Charge Act 1991. For this Management Plan, there is no charge.

Note 3 AFMA must grant a statutory fishing right to a person to whom the grant of the right is available if the person asks AFMA to grant the right — see section 31 of the Act.
