Queensland Fisheries Joint Authority

Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
The Commonwealth and the State of Queensland have been working to abolish the QFJA. The termination agreements for the Gulf of Carpentaria Grey Mackerel Fishery and the Gulf of Carpentaria Northern Demersal and Pelagic Finfish Fishery and new OCS agreements were signed by both parties during 2021 resulting in no fisheries being under the authority of the QFJA.
