This Order authorises the Director to take measures to delay or prevent the spread of controlled fish by altering inland waters and by restricting access to, and activities around, those waters. It affects people and animals who use or manage inland waters because the Director may change water flows, levels and access, creating compliance and operational costs for those users and concentrating decision-making power in that office.
