Minor technical errors were found in the 1 October 2003 levy order, which was approved by Order-in-Council on 25 August 2003. There was no impact on fishers as the levy order was repealed as part of the settlement of historic under and over recovery of cost recovery levies. The 1 April 2004 levy order corrected the technical errors. |
| A Gazette Notice is issued by 28 August 2003 and stakeholders are advised of the new levies. |

An amending levy order was gazetted with effect from 1 April 2004 to cover the impacts of the TAC/TACC decisions for 1 October 2003, agreed prices for research contracts and the allocation of net settlement credits.
Two minor technical errors have been found in the 1 April 2004 levy order.
The timing of the Gazette Notice was dependent on the enactment of the Fisheries Amendment Bill (No. 2). As this was enacted on 18 March 2004, achievement of the 28-day deadline was not possible. The Gazette Notice was issued on 25 March 2004. |
