Print PageSuspension and revocation
A Marine Parks permit can be suspended or revoked. This may happen, for example, when the permitted activity causes damage to the Marine Park, the permit holder fails to comply with a permit condition, or any Environmental Management Charge is overdue for payment.
The maximum penalties that apply for failing to comply with a Marine Parks permit are $22,000 for an individual and $110,000 for a body corporate. Vessels and other equipment (including catch) may also be seized and forfeited with a court order.
