Why are Sunfish pushing for a Recreational Fishing Licence in Queensland ???
I have heard that they want to assist with the introduction of a rec licence. My take is that if they can do this, they will receive more funding from the government.
Has anyone else got any further info on this as it doesn't sound like the morally right thing to do.

What are your thoughts on the idea of a General Recreational Fishing licence ?
If In Favour I suggest we would model it on the NSW example along the lines of :-
1) ALL money raised goes into two transparent Trust accounts – One for Freshwater ( taking over from the current SIPS program – This would be kicked off with a minimum of the average funds raised under the current SIPS over the last 3 years as a starting guide for allocation ) Plus a New Saltwater Trust – where All remaining fund would be held. No funds can be spent without written approval from the management committees.
2) Administration costs to manage the program would be capped at 10% from License contributions – This employs government staff to administer & manage the program.
3) The 1st priority would be to establish a selection of Recreation Fishing havens ( RFH's ) throughout Queensland in Key recreational angling areas IE: Great Sandy... [Read More]

North Harbour |

For those who are interested, the government has given the green light to Northeast Business Park's North Harbour development on the Caboolture River. Google it up if you want to have a look, it's huge. 900 wet berths and 500 racks and all the fruit that goes with a marina plus a massive industrial estate, I'm sort of glad it's on the other side of the river to us.
Have now read a bit more:
I find it interesting that the co-ordinator general can assess the aquatic plant life in the dredging area (straight through moreton bay marine park) as being of "little value" when only a mile or two away is a marine national park zone so declared because of it's valuable seagrass beds, must be that underwater garden edging that stops the grass running down the front of beachmere to the river. The co-ordinator general's report is an astounding read, he's basically saying that a 600Ha industrial/commercial/residential development is going to improve the water... [Read More]
