Section 265 of the Fisheries Act 1996 creates a mandatory obligation on the Minister of Fisheries to have regard to under and over recovery of costs of any fisheries-related conservation service or fisheries service in a previous financial year when recommending a cost recovery levy order for a current/future year.

This provision reflects the balance of the net over and under recovery of cost recovery levies for the period 1 October 1994 to 30 June 2005 to be applied against future cost recovery levy orders.
