The Department prepares marine farming development plans (MFDPs) for the major marine farming areas of the State using the process set down in the Marine Farming Planning Act 1995. (The Act may be viewed on the Tasmanian Legislation website at www.thelaw.tas.gov.au . Use the Search function to find the Act.)
Under the Act, the process requires that draft MFDPs be placed on public exhibition for two months, during which time representations may be submitted to the planning authority. An independent expertise-based Marine Farming Planning Review Panel assesses representations. The Panel may require modifications to a draft MFDP in light of representations. Draft modifications, if required, are then exhibited for a further two months for comment.
The Minister for Primary Industries and Water gives final approval to MFDPs after which allocation of leasable area may proceed. MFDPs must be reviewed at least once every ten years to ensure that the objectives of resource management are achieved.
The Minister for Primary Industries and Water may approve emergency MFDPs to address short-term emergencies. Emergency plans remain in force for a period not exceeding two years, and override an existing MFDP to the extent of any inconsistency.
