Boating Access Scheme 2010/2011 (BAS) - Update

Added 22nd of July 2010

At the last General Meeting of The Pine Rivers Fish Management Association Inc held on Wednesday 6th July 2010 the following resolution was passed unanimously.

 
  • All occupants of a Canoe or Kayak must wear a suitable PFD
  • All Children under the age of 12 in a powered vessel must wear an appropriate sized PFD
  • All vessels must carry at all times the appropriate PFD’s for each person on board that vessel, together with oars or paddles and suitable Bailing Equipment. ** Sit on Kayaks do not require Bailing Equipment.
 

It is strongly recommended that permit holders adopt these requirements immediately and that they become mandatory when new permits are issued. The Deed of Agreement will be amended to include the above safety requirements and will be effective upon signing. As per the above motion the PRFMA strongly recommend that all current permit holders adopt these safety requirements immediately for their own benefit..

Information Session - Jungle Perch

Added 7th of July 2010

The Pine Rivers Fish Management Association had a very interesting and informative presentation on the possible stocking of Jungle Perch back into QLD waterways. Michael Huchinson from the DPI Research Centre at Bribie Island was kind enough to share their research results and findings.

The Primary activities of the DPI research centre are:

  • conduct research and development into areas of significance to aquaculture in Queensland
  • liaise with other government agencies on sustainable aquaculture in Queensland
  • encourage development of local support industries to aquaculture
  • provide information on new and existing technologies to prospective aquaculturists
  • conduct contract research and consultancies for industry
  • advise government and regulatory authorities on aquaculture

The PRFMA regularly has sessions like this before meeting so if you are interested in learning more send us and email to info@prfma.com.au
