Prospects for Aquaculture and Amendments to the Fisheries Act Under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) Queensland Parliamentary Library Prospects for Aquaculture and amendments to the Fisheries Act under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) At least two recent developments have put the spotlight on aquaculture in Queensland. The first is the proposal for the development of a fish farm in Moreton Bay. Secondly, there has been an escalation in regulatory controls on recreational and commercial wild fish catches to guard against overexploitation. Aquaculture is a developing and promising Queensland industry that may have the potential to fill the gap between the public’s demand for fish and shellfish and the emerging shortage in wild fish supplies. However, there are a number of factors that impact upon the development of the aquaculture industry with environmental impacts of projects being a primary issue for producers. A number of regulatory controls on aquaculture developments are aimed at minimising environmental harm, including a development assessment process under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld). In recognition of the problems created for producers by duplication of planning and assessment processes, the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) has been introduced to amend the Fisheries Act 1994 (Qld) to require that certain fisheries development proposals are assessed under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

Despite this, the commercial catch ranks 55th in the world because the scope of wild fisheries is very limited.1 Australia is also a low producer of food through aquaculture (ie the cultivation of marine and freshwater resources to provide food and other products)2 but it is a rapidly growing industry. In recent times there have been a number of positive predictions for the future of aquaculture in Australia and, indeed, in many other countries. The basis for the encouraging outlook is the perception that world- wide wild fish stocks are declining as a source of food for human consumption. Indeed, it is acknowledged throughout the world that wild fish supplies are dwindling and are unlikely to meet sustained levels of demand in the future. Thus, aquaculture represents a means by which fisheries production can be increased sufficiently to meet demand both in Australia and overseas.3 The value of Australia’s aquaculture production in 2001/02 was $733 million, accounting for 30% of the total gross value of Australian fisheries production in that period. The aquaculture industry hopes to triple its annual sales to $2.5 billion by 2010 if it manages to exploit its competitive advantages to meet consumer demand.4 Aquaculture has recently become Queensland’s fastest growing primary industry sector, with growth in value averaging 10% per annum for the last decade. During 2001/02, production was 4,603 tonnes and valued at $71.65 million.5 Most of the industry operates in regional areas of the State.6 However, concerns about environmental damage and ecological sustainability have placed great pressure on the aquaculture industry, both in Australia and world- 1 Stuart Rowland, ‘Silver Perch: Potential, Research and Industry Development’, Natfish, p 1, http://www.natfish.tafensw.edu.au/industryinfo/SilverPerch.htm Downloaded 3 December 2002. 2 John Button, A Dictionary of Green Ideas, Routledge, London, 1988, p 26. 3 Stuart Rowland, ‘Silver Perch: Potential, Research and Industry Development’, Natfish, p 1. 4 G Love & D Langenkamp, ‘Australian Aquaculture: Industry Profiles for Related Species’, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics, ABARE Report 03.8, Prepared for the Fisheries Resources Research Fund, May 2003, p iii, http://www.abareconomics.com/

D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS INCREASES IN BRISBANE MEAT PRICES Mr. LLOYD (Kedron) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry- "(!) Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(5) How do these charges compare with those imposed by other abattoirs?" Questions [10 NOVEMBER] Questions 1345 "(6) Has there been any recent increase Cannon Hill have had no influence on in the slaughtering charges levied at the recent rises in meat prices.

Richardson 3 SUBMISSION TO THE FEDERAL REDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES IN QUEENSLAND BY BOB RICHARDSON COMMENTS ON SUGGESTIONS General:- • All of the ‘suggestions’ except mine left the existing 30 Divisions with the same names. • Most made only minor changes, especially in regional and rural areas. • While giving ‘lip service’ to the need to follow Local Government boundaries, as a means of ‘Community interest’ most did not address the problems of splitting cities, such as Mackay, Rockhampton, and the Fraser Coast. I believe that this, without having fit another Division in, is the opportunity for the Redistribution Committee to bring Divisions like Dawson back to where they traditionally belong. 4 DIVISION OF LEICHHARDT In my ‘suggestions’ I discussed the disadvantage to the residents on Cape York Peninsula (referred to hereupon throughout this submission as ‘the Cape’) and the Torres Strait Islands (referred to throughout this submission as ‘the Islands’), however I did not mention a matter closer to Cairns, the population growth of the Cairns area, from Palm Cave to Gordonvale.
