New South Wales regulation
The Order immediately permits recreational fishers to take and possess Murray crayfish (on publication in the Gazette) but makes that permission conditional on compliance with any requirements under the Fisheries Management Act 1994. It therefore affects recreational fishers (who bear the compliance burden) while deferring all substantive limits, enforcement and implementation details to the Act and its subordinate instruments.
