20—Individual aquaculture strategies
(1) If a
sector-based aquaculture strategy is not in place in relation to an industry
sector to which a licensee belongs, the licensee must have an
aquaculture strategy approved by the Minister (an "individual aquaculture
strategy ).
(2) Subject to
regulation 21, if, at any time, the Minister is not satisfied as to the
adequacy of an individual aquaculture strategy, the Minister may require the
strategy to be amended and resubmitted for approval within a specified period
in a modified form (which may be specified by the Minister).
(3) If a licensee
fails to resubmit a strategy as required, the licensee is guilty of an
offence.
Maximum penalty: $5 000.
Expiation fee: $500.
(4) Before requiring
an individual aquaculture strategy to be resubmitted, the Minister must give
the licensee written notice of the proposed action, inviting the licensee to
make written submissions in relation to the proposed action within a period
specified in the notice (being not less than 14 days from the day on
which the notice is given to the licensee).
