An Act to amend the Fisheries Act 1908
BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Short Title
This Act may be cited as the Fisheries Amendment Act 1962, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Fisheries Act 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).
2 Tourist fishing licences
The principal Act is hereby amended by inserting, after section 83, the following section:
“83a.
“(1)
In this section the term ‘tourist fishing licence’ means a licence to fish for acclimatised fish issued pursuant to this section.
“(2)
Any officer of the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts authorised in that behalf by the General Manager of the Department may from time to time issue to any person visiting or intending to visit New Zealand as a bona fide tourist a special licence to fish for acclimatised fish, to be known as a tourist fishing licence.
“(3)
Every tourist fishing licence—
“(a)
Shall be in the prescribed form; and
“(b)
Shall authorise the holder, during the period specified in the licence (being a period of one month), to take acclimatised fish in any waters in New Zealand, except the waters to which Part I of the Maori Purposes Act 1959 (which relates to Lake Rotoaira and part of the Poutu Stream) applies or in any other waters that are not for the time being open for fishing for acclimatised fish, subject to the provisions of any regulations for the time being in force, whether made under this Act or any other Act, imposing restrictions on the times, methods, and places of fishing in those waters and on the fish that may be taken in those waters, and to the provisions of any modification notice issued by the Minister under any such regulations:
“Provided that where by any such regulations any waters are declared to be fisheries experimental waters in which the taking of acclimatised fish is prohibited except pursuant to a permit, nothing in this paragraph shall authorise the holder of a tourist fishing licence to take acclimatised fish in those waters unless he is the holder of such a permit; and
“(c)
Shall have effect for the purposes of subsection (2) of section 4 of the Maori Purposes Act 1959 and of any regulations made under section 15 of that Act, as if it were a trout-fishing licence in respect of the Taupo Trout Fishing District.
“(4)
There shall be paid in respect of tourist fishing licences such fees as are prescribed by regulations under this Act.
“(5)
All fees received in respect of tourist fishing licences, after deducting therefrom such amount as the Minister of Finance approves from time to time for the expenses incidental to the issue thereof, shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund and applied for the purposes of freshwater fisheries research.
“(6)
The power to make regulations conferred by section 83 of this Act shall be deemed to include power to make regulations with respect to tourist fishing licences. Any such regulations may apply to tourist fishing licences, with such modifications as the Governor-General thinks fit, the provisions of any regulations for the time being in force relating to the taking of acclimatised fish, whether made under this Act or any other Act.
“(7)
The provisions of this section shall have effect notwithstanding anything in any other provision of this Part of this Act, or in section 14 of the Maori Land Amendment and Maori Land Claims Adjustment Act 1926, or in subsection (3) of section 10 of the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955, or in any regulations made under this Act or under the said section 14.”
This Act is administered in the Marine Department.
