Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels two outdated fisheries management notices (No. 19 from 1988 and No. 61 from 2002) that previously governed how the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery operates.

Who it affects: Commercial fishers, traditional inhabitants, and fisheries compliance officers working in the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery.

Why it matters: This is administrative "housekeeping" that removes old rules that are no longer in force. It does not create new fishing rules or change current fishing arrangements—it simply works alongside existing instruments to ensure the regulatory framework is tidy and up-to-date. Think of it as removing expired pages from the rulebook without writing new ones.
