THE NSW Government has granted a one-month extension for submissions on proposed changes to recreational fishing rules in NSW, including bag and size limits.
Understanding the importance of consultation, the additional time to provide feedback follows Jim Harnwell’s comment piece on NSW bag and size limits last week, which has drawn considerable response from the recreational fishing community.
The government’s discussion paper is on public exhibition until Saturday 31 August 2013. Discussion papers and submission forms are available at most bait and tackle shops and fisheries offices throughout NSW.
Copies of the paper can be found online at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/reviews/fishingrules
It’s easy to make a submission on the various options via the online submission form or by post, email or fax… so get onboard and have your say!
