The Aquaculture (Standard Lease and Licence Conditions) Policy 2022 outlines the standard terms and regulatory requirements for aquaculture leases and licences in South Australia under the Aquaculture Act 2001. It provides a consistent framework for marine and land-based operations, covering conditions around lease duration, renewal, fees, environmental protection, biosecurity, and reporting obligations. Key conditions include performance requirements, risk notification, public liability insurance, infrastructure standards, and rehabilitation responsibilities. The policy also sets limits on biomass and infrastructure for various species, introduces provisions for mitigating ecological risks, and mandates stewardship responsibilities for licensees and lessees.
