96: Revocation of fishing permit

You could also call this:

"What happens if your fishing permit is cancelled"

Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

If the chief executive revokes your fishing permit under section 305A, you must cancel it straight away. You have to give the permit and any copies to the chief executive. You cannot use any fish or seaweed you caught after giving false information for your catch entitlement under section 34. You also will not get any quota allocation. You can ask the chief executive to revoke your permit and you must send the permit with your request. The chief executive does not have to give you back any fees you paid for your permit if it is revoked.
