EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

FISH PROTECTION REGULATIONS

No. 6 of 1960

	Regulation 9 of the Fish Protection Regulations prescribes the minimum length of fish that may be taken from waters covered by the Ordinance.  This amendment alters Regulation 9 by providing new minimum lengths for those classes of fish specified in the amendment.  The provisions of Regulations made under the New South Wales Fisheries and Oysters Act have been used as a basis for the Australian Capital Territory provisions and this amendment brings the Australian Capital Territory provisions into line with those of New South Wales.
