Statutory Fishing Rights Allocation Review Panel (SFRARP)
The Statutory Fishing Rights Allocation Review Panel (SFRARP) was established under Section 124 of the Fisheries Management Act 1991.
SFRARP is an independent, specialist body that reviews decisions by
- the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) or
- a Joint Authority (that is managed by the Australian Government on a day-to-day basis)
relating to the provisional allocation of Statutory Fishing Rights (SFRs), under a plan of management (except when the SFRs have been allocated as a result of an auction or tender).
The SFRARP Registry resides in the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and provides administrative support to the SFRARP.
The Government plays no role in SFRARP's decision making activities.
