Conservation Act 1987

Freshwater fisheries - Indigenous freshwater fish

26ZHA: Approval under specified Acts to access public land is not approval for recreational fishing of indigenous freshwater fish

You could also call this:

"Accessing public land does not automatically let you fish for native freshwater fish."

If you get approval to access public land for recreation under the Conservation Act 1987 or an Act listed in Schedule 1, it does not mean you can go recreational fishing for indigenous freshwater fish in any fisheries water on that land. This approval only lets you access the land, not fish in the water. You need a separate approval to do that, and having access to the land is not enough to let you fish for indigenous freshwater fish.
