Making a Submission

Members of the public are invited to make written submissions on this draft allocation report. Those making submissions are encouraged to make reference to the particular recommendation or section of the report they wish to comment on. If you disagree with a particular recommendation or section, try to suggest alternative ways to address or resolve the issues identified in the report. Clear reasons should be included in your response, so that your views can be properly considered.

The Integrated Fisheries Allocation Advisory Committee (IFAAC) recognises that many abalone recreational fishers are of Vietnamese or Chinese ethnic background, and do not participate in other recreational fishing advisory activities. The IFAAC will take this into account when disseminating information on its draft allocation report, and has developed a communication plan that has a focus on ensuring that recreational fishers from all backgrounds are included in the consultative process.

As a first step, a flyer translated into Chinese and Vietnamese has been prepared informing licensees of the Integrated Fisheries Management process for abalone. This is being sent out with all recreational abalone licence renewal forms.

The IFAAC will consider the content of all submissions during the preparation of its final report to the Minister for Fisheries and make changes to its initial position as required. A summary of all the submissions will be provided to the Minister at the time the IFAAC submits its final report to him.

After the submission period has closed, the IFAAC may write to stakeholders who have lodged a written submission, inviting them to speak to the committee in support of their submission. The IFAAC encourages stakeholders and others to communicate among themselves in the preparation of their submissions and would appreciate the lodgement of joint submissions on particular issues.If the

IFAAC receives a submission that it considers requires further consultation, the committee will draw it to the attention of all those who have lodged a submission or expressed an interest in receiving information.

Submissions will be treated as public documents, unless the IFAAC is advised otherwise.

Submissions should be made prior to 31 January 2007. The IFAAC would appreciate the lodgement of submissions electronically using the following email address: ifaac@fish.wa.gov.au. Alternatively, they can be sent to:
