Will the Minister or the Government of the day be able to make changes to marine park zones in the future, to exclude fishers from larger areas?
No. Under the current legislation, any changes would need to be put to the community for consultation, and must follow a rigorous process involving assessment by the Environment, Resources and Development Committee (ERDC) of Parliament. This is the same zone amendment process as set out in the Aquaculture Act 2001. The Government is considering strengthening this safeguard.
