NEWS TIPS newsroom@tbw.com.au Lobster plan complete Strategy set out to manage southern zone fi shery DO SA WDY SAM sam@tbw.com.au am@ A FIVE-year management plan for the southern zone rock lobster fi shery has been fi nalised with the aim of ensuring sustainable harvest of the species. The southern zone stretches from the River Murray mouth to the Victorian border and the fi shery is a vital contributor to the Limestone Coast economy, producing almost 1250 tonnes of rock lobster each year with a total production value of $79.1m. More than 1000 full-time employment positions are provided by the rock lobster fi shery, according to the State Government. South Eastern Professional Fishermen’s Association executive offi cer Justin Phillips welcomed the management plan. “There’s nothing in the plan that’s a surprise to industry members in the southern zone and there has been an extensive consultation process in place around its development,” he said. “The key component of the management plan is the harvest strategy, which is the set of decision rules which guides the setting of the annual total allowable commercial catch (TACC) or quota. “These rules include trigger points for decisions based on various biological performance indicators from the previous fi shing season. “The industry, under the guidance of the Rock Lobster Fishery Management Advisory Committee, will be undertaking a review of the current harvest strategy ready for next season.” Mr Phillips believes the new management plan is more “rigid” than the previous structure. “One key difference under the new management plan is that this new document is actually passed through parliament, whereas the old plan was essentially a policy document and was utilised more as a guide,” he said. “Another important point is that the licence tenure is now actually linked to the life of the management plan. “Effectively, now the document has been approved, licence holders have a fi ve-year licence which is renewed annually. “This is aimed at providing more security around licence tenure to licence holders.” Fisheries Minister Gail Gago said the plan would ensure the ongoing sustainability of the fi shery. “South Australia’s clean marine waters are home to some of the most sought-after seafood in the world,” she said. “Our southern zone rock lobster has a fabulous reputation among seafood lovers and garners a premium price on international markets, with South Australia being the largest Australian supplier of rock lobster to the major export market of Hong Kong. “The new management plan provides a clear policy framework for the management arrangements required to maintain the health and long-term sustainability of the fi shery. “It also sets out the shares of the rock lobster resource allocated to the commercial, recreational and Aboriginal traditional fishing sectors, providing access security to fi shers and business stability for licence holders. “ For more information on the management plan visit www. fi sheriescouncil.sa.gov.au. Long-serving education leader ready to step down FORMER Mount Gambier education identity Garry Costello will step down as the state’s chief education offi cer due to of family commitments. Mr Costello - who was principal at Mount Gambier High School for many years and the winner of the city’s prestigious citizen of the year award - will end his high-ranking position at the end of December. “I have given the decision much thought and have come to the conclusion that my role requires intense focus and long hours which my personal family circumstances make diffi cult to fulfi l,” Mr Costello said. “I informed the chief executive Tony Harrison of my decision in mid September so that processes could be put in place to cause minimal disruption for the start of 2014.” He said it had been an enormous privilege to work with many “extraordinary” parents, adults and young people in preschools and schools and staff in regional and central offi ces. “We are all part of a public education and care system which is characterised by a high level of commitment, intelligence, altruism and moral purpose and one which services our community well,” Mr Costello said. END OF AN ERA: Garry Costello has decided not to continue as the state’s chief education offi cer. “Our preschools and schools are places of which we can be very proud.” He said next year would be a pivotal year in the development of the department with the local partnerships, standards for schools and students, new accountability and improvement Vandals damage bridge MILLICENT police are investigating damage to a bridge on George Street in the heart of the town. Somebody damaged four stone pillars on the Millicent bridge between midnight on Wednesday and 7am yesterday, prompting offi cers to call for information from the public. The bridge features three pillars on either side of the road and the tops have been smashed off two of the structures. Police said it was the second time the bridge had been damaged recently and it was likely that more than one offender was involved. “Given that the Wattle Range Council and the local community generally take a lot of pride in the parks, gardens and infrastructure of Millicent, this is very disappointing,” Senior Sergeant Peter Brown said. “We are asking for help from the community to identify who would stoop to this kind of behaviour.” Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at www. sa.crimestoppers.com.au. Callers can remain anonymous. COMMUNITY INVITATION MOUNT GAMBIER COMMUNITY ACCOMMODATION HUB The City of Mount Gambier invites all homeowners and members of the public whom are willing to host visitors within their home during the annual Generations in Jazz event, to be held the fi rst week of May, to be part of a new “Homestay” scheme. The Lady Nelson Visitor & Discovery Centre is working with local website RoomsHere.com to develop a listing of community accommodation, to be known as the Mount Gambier Community Accommodation Hub; aiming to help alleviate some of the problems associated with fi nding accommodation during the major event. Once the scheme has been introduced for the Generations in Jazz event, participants in the “Homestay” program will be offered the opportunity to opt in and out for other major events and might only offer their accommodation once a year.
