Fisheries Branch [1911-1976] : [88] Collection home page

Fisheries Branch of the Chief (Colonial) Secretary’s Department.

The Board of Fisheries was dissolved under The Fisheries (Amendment) Act 1910 (Act No.14, 1910) on 1 November 1911. The Board was dissolved due to a number of reasons including dissatisfaction by fishermen and the growing importance of the industry. The Board was criticised because the majority of its members had little knowledge of the industry and it was labelled as cumbersome because it could not deal promptly with matters requiring immediate attention. The Royal Commission into Food Supplies and Prices described the growing importance of the industry and the possibilities which were being exploited were “questions of policy rather than of administration.” As a result, the Board’s powers, duties, and authorities were now vested in the responsible Minister, the Chief (Colonial) Secretary who would remain responsible until 1974. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
