This new Advisory Council is being established to review and assess applications for funding from the Recreational Fishing Trusts, replacing the Recreational Fishing Freshwater and Saltwater Trust Expenditure Committees.

All money raised by the NSW Recreational Fishing Licence Fee is placed into the Recreational Fishing Trusts and spent on improving recreational fishing in NSW. Each year, a wide range of projects receive funding from the Trusts.
Who can apply?

The Council will include:

  • Up to 7 members with expertise in saltwater or freshwater recreational fishing (or both).

  • An additional 4 members with knowledge of recreational fishing as well as expertise in one of the following:
