“The online permitting system will enable enthusiastic recreational fishers and members of the public to easily access a recreational permit without having to travel distances to find a post office,” DFFE Minister Barbara Creecy said in a media release. “The recreational fishing permit holder must have a copy of the permit when participating in recreational fishing activities,” the Department said. The permit will show details such as the application number, permit number and your personal details such as ID or passport number, name and surname, and date of birth.
