9—Transfer of licences

        (1)         In this regulation—

"authorised amalgamation scheme transfer" means a transfer of a licence that is authorised under regulation 11;

"authorised family transfer" means a transfer of a licence that is authorised under regulation 10.

        (2)         Subject to these regulations, licences in respect of a marine scalefish fishery are transferable.

        (3)         A licence in respect of the Restricted Marine Scalefish Fishery cannot be transferred to the holder of another licence in respect of that fishery.

        (4)         An application for consent to the transfer of a licence must be accompanied by—

            (a)         the licence to be transferred; and

            (b)         a form of return as required by regulation 27 completed by the holder of the licence up to the date of application.

        (5)         The Minister may only consent to the transfer of a licence if satisfied as to the following:

            (a)         that the transfer is—

                  (i)         an authorised family transfer; or

                  (ii)         an authorised amalgamation scheme transfer;

            (b)         that any fees or other amounts payable in relation to the licence under the Act or the repealed Act have been paid in full;

            (c)         that the licence to be transferred has not been suspended;

            (d)         that the transfer is to 1 person only;

            (e)         that no proceedings alleging an offence against the Act or the repealed Act are pending or likely to be commenced in the State against the holder of the licence;

            (f)         that the transferee is a natural person of at least 15 years of age and is a fit and proper person to hold a licence in respect of a marine scalefish fishery;

            (g)         if a boat registered for use under the licence is the subject of, is registered for use under, or is otherwise referred to in, a licence, permit, authority or other entitlement to take aquatic resources granted under a law of the Commonwealth or a corresponding law—

                  (i)         that the entitlement is either to be transferred together with the licence to the transferee or to be surrendered on or before the transfer of the licence; or

                  (ii)         that—

                        (A)         the transfer of the licence separately from the entitlement is not likely to result in fishing activities that over-exploit or endanger the aquatic resources of the State; and

                        (B)         the person or body that granted the entitlement concurs with the separate transfer of the licence.
