150C: Earlier expiry of moratorium in relation to specified areas
or “The rule allows the Governor-General to end the ban on fish farming in some areas earlier than planned if certain conditions are met.”

You could also call this:

“Old rules apply to applications that were waiting when the pause on fish farming ended.”

This part of the law is no longer active. It used to talk about how to handle applications that were waiting to be processed when a break in aquaculture activities (called a moratorium) ended. The rule said these applications should be looked at using the rules that were in place when the break finished. However, this rule was removed from the law on 1 January 2005, so it doesn’t apply anymore.
