New SIP scheme takes affect today 1 July 2016
« on: July 01, 2016, 04:35:18 PM »
So the new permit scheme came into play as of today. Looking back at some historical numbers as below and making a few assumptions at the end.
link to new info below.

http://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/activities/boating-fishing/rec-fishing/dams/

Numbers as below

Permit sales between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2012

Number of permits    Number    Monetary Value
Online          12,986       $306,279
Small business    40,096       $649,707

Type of permits sold between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2012

Permit type          Number    Monetary Value
Weekly             32,808       $236,218
Yearly             16,378       $590,427
Yearly discount    3992       $129,341

Permit sales between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013

Number of permits    Number    Monetary Value
Online           12,503       $285,067
Small business    36,939       $618,746

Type of permits sold between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013

Permit type           Number    Monetary Value
Weekly              30,566       $224,948
Yearly              15,029       $554,178
Yearly discount    3,848       $124,687

Permit sales between 01 July 2013 and 30 June 2014

Number of Permits    Number    Monetary Value
Online -                16,399       $376,973
Small Business    38,256       $623,030

Type of permits sold between 01 July 2013 and 30 June 2014

Permit Type          Number    Monetary Value
Weekly             35,219       $271,187
Yearly             15,199       $586,665
Yearly Discount    4,237       $142,151

Permit sales between 01/07/2014 and 30/06/2015


Number of Permits    Number    Monetary Value
Online -                19,998       $373,035
Small Business    29,224       $545,315

Type of permits sold between 01/07/2014 and 30/06/2015
Permit Type               Number    Monetary Value
Weekly                  32,205       $257.640
Yearly                  13,023       $520,920
Yearly Discount        3,994       $139,790 

The current new  costs are as follows

Permits cost:
$10.00 per week
$50.00 per year
$36.00 per year if you are entitled to a discount

Now the variables to the recent years is that your spouse no longer can reside under your name and fee paid. So it will be interesting to see what the numbers do and how the values change.

Interestingly the number has decreased in 2014 / 2015 year. I believe that the number will spike this term just gone 2015 / 2016 as people would have pre purchased for the 2016 / 2017 year. But the numbers will tell. So to me I would believe we probably need to wait till the 2017/2018 year to see how the new scheme is actually going.

But if we applied the numbers to the 2014/2015 year and used the new fee value how does that look.

32,205 weeklys @ $10        $ 322,050
13023 yearlys @ $50      $ 651,150
3,994 discount @ $36      $ 143,784

Total new fee structure $ 1,116,984 vs old structure value $ 918,350

So will the $ 198,634 make a difference? We now have 63 stocked impoundments to share the cost with and remember that admin fees are going to be 25% before sharing of funds.

Interesting times ahead.

Worthy of consideration is that more people may now be inclined to buy a permit and go to a local dam given that there are now more impoundments to choose from. Also, many of those previous permits would've covered two people. Now, each adult is required to purchase their own. I think there will be quite a bit of extra cash to go around. Wishful thinking?

The most interesting thing is that I believe that they have still not worked out a formula on how each impoundment will be assessed as quite a few of the new waters are weirs in river systems so how do you measure the surface area.
It would appear to me that there is a strong possibility that the stocking assns on the original scheme will now receive lesser funding unless the previous RFEP is brought back into play.

I just went through the purchasing process to check something.  It seems that the area to check a preference for an impoundment to receive your funds is no longer there.  How will they divide up the funds next year?

A quick calculation tells me that 31 new dams on the list, at $5000 per impoundment as per the old RFEP, equals $155,000, or a total of 4,134 new permits at $37.50 (75% of $50.00). 
Will the new impoundments and spousal permits bring over 4000 new SIP holders into the system?

At least Bill BYrne used to give you an answer not a fobb off.

Thank you for your email to the Honourable Leanne Donaldson, Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries. The Minister appreciates the time you have taken to contact her. 

 

As the Minister receives a high volume of correspondence, your email has been noted and, where appropriate, a response will be provided.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Office of the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries

She must really wish to be reelected if she allows staffers to fobb people off.

Cheers

I do not have exact wording as i used gov website to contact them but it was about the implementation of new SIP .
This is the first time that I have ever been fobbed off from any government minister or department.

I'm still confused as to what permit/s are still required to fish NPD and Hinze from a kayak. Does the new SIP mean that it is all that is required, or does one still need a boating permit as well?  Can anyone enlighten me?

The only way you can fish NPD with any watercraft is via the boating access scheme run by the PRFMA. Permits currently closed with a new round to be issued later this ye
NPD recreational use currently under review ( Has been last 3 years)by SEQ water.If they decide to open it up will take a while as major works will be required to provide road in and ramps as watercraft access will not be allowed from the current recreation areas near the dam wall

No changes have been made to Boating Permits, only the SIP Scheme has changed.
