According to FOSAF and Trout SA this proposed Bill has little to do with development and rather is aimed at state control. It is our view that aquaculture is simply a form of farming. It should not be the responsibility of the DFFE, but it should rather fall under the Department of Agriculture. The draft Bill proposes that all aquaculture undertakings, should be registered and licenced and subjected to inspection. Moreover, it appears that this will include the hundreds of trout destinations who stock trout. Why this form of agriculture should be licenced and strictly controlled and how the implementation of the Bill will be financed, are questions still to be answered by the DFFE. This is no doubt yet another attempt by government to increase its control over every facet of business while attempting to levy the costs from the businesses they target.
