26ZF: No remuneration payable to members

You could also call this:

"Members of Fish and Game Councils do not get paid for their work."

If you are a member of a Fish and Game Council, you are not entitled to receive any payment, allowances, or expenses for your service on the Council, unless this Act or its regulations say otherwise. You will not get paid for being on the Council. This rule applies to all members of Fish and Game Councils.

As a member of a Fish and Game Council, you will not get a free licence to take sports fish or to hunt or kill game. You have to follow the same rules as everyone else when it comes to getting a licence.

You cannot receive any special treatment just because you are a member of a Fish and Game Council, according to the Conservation Act 1987 and its amendments, including the Conservation Law Reform Act 1990 and the Conservation Amendment Act 1996.
