This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 July 2016, amend the Taupo Fishery Regulations 2004 (the principal regulations).
The main purpose of these regulations is to remove provisions that set fishing conditions (such as open and closed seasons and bag and size limits) from the principal regulations. This will enable fishing conditions to be set instead in a Taupo District Anglers Notice made under the Conservation Act 1987.
These regulations also amend the principal regulations to clarify that licences may be issued electronically.
