The Department and the commercial fishing industry entered into<br />
an agreement in 1995 that provided for the Department to recover<br />
the costs associated with the management of major commercial<br />
fisheries. The costs were recovered through the annual fee<br />
charged for access to the fishery concerned.<br />
Effective 1 July 2010 the use of cost recovery and a contribution<br />
to the Development and Better Interests Fund as the mechanism<br />
for setting access fees was discontinued. Access fees are<br />
now levied as a percentage of the gross value of production of<br />
each fishery with no Development and Better Interests Fund<br />
contribution.<br />
