NSW DPI Fisheries is seeking feedback on proposed programs aimed at rebuilding the biomass of depleted and recovering fish species in NSW
The proposed rebuilding programs include species-specific changes for the commercial, recreational, and charter sectors to reduce fishing mortality and support additional recruitment of grey morwong, silver trevally, pearl perch, and redfish.
NSW DPI Fisheries said all feedback will be considered alongside the following principles:
- Programs and management actions should be designed to rebuild stock biomass to sustainable levels within biologically appropriate timeframes, in accordance with State and Commonwealth legislation and sustainability guidelines.
- Consistent contributions to reduce fishing mortality should be provided across the commercial and recreational fishing sectors.

Consultation will be open from 9:00am Friday 28 November 2025 until 11:59pm 31 January 2026.
