The ACT Government is introducing a new Fisheries (Fishing Gear) instrument which prohibits the use and possession of opera-house nets in all ACT waters (including private waters).

This has now been notified and the changes to these fishing gear rules now apply in the ACT.<\/p>\n Minister Gentleman has announced an opera-house net swap program https:\/\/www.cmtedd.act.gov.au\/open_government\/inform\/act_government_media_releases\/gentleman\/2020\/swap-your-old-yabby-trap-for-a-free-wild-life-friendly-net<\/a> ,this will allow Canberran\u2019s to swap opera-house nets for an open-top pyramid net free of charge at participating retailers. We hope this will see less opera-house nets in the community and result in less deaths of non-target native animals captured in these nets.
