How is membership of the SFRARP determined?
Membership of the Statutory Fishing Rights Allocation Review Panel (SFRARP) is determined by the Fisheries Management Act 1991. Members are appointed by the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry usually on a part-time basis for three consecutive terms not exceeding 12 years total. The SFRARP currently consists of a Principal Member and five panel members. If a member has a conflict of interest in relation to a review, the member must disclose the matters giving rise to that conflict, and must not take part in the review unless given consent by all parties. An SFRARP panel member may resign from SFRARP by giving the Minister a signed notice of resignation. The Minister may terminate the appointment of an SFRARP member for misbehaviour, physical or mental incapacity, inefficiency or incompetence, or bankruptcy. Remuneration Panel Members are paid according to rates determined by the Remuneration Tribunal. For further information on SFRARP Membership contact the SFRARP Registry
