How the funds were allocated

The working group looked at a number of allocation models for the 2019 grants. After discussion the majority of the working group supported applying last year’s allocation formula with 50% of funds allocated by surface area capped at 4,000 hectares maximum with available fishing area and the remaining 50% of funds allocated by the SIPS permit holder participation rate at dams and weirs. It also continues the minimum $500 allocation and the maximum of 70% of total stocking allocation from SIPS.

Allocation amounts were based on a total revenue of $1,170,000 (included total sales July 2018 to May 2019 and predicted sales for May and June 2019). A total of $840,007 (ex GST) was allocated for community engagement and impoundments in 2018-2019. FFSAQ was allocated $8,000 and Townsville Barramundi Stocking Society Inc.& Hinze Dam Fish Management Committee were allocated a total of $5,500 for Disaster Recovery. $826,507 was allocated to impoundments for fish stocking and other approved activities.

The allocation formula used for impoundments was 50% allocated by surface area capped at 4,000 ha and 50% allocated by the SIPS permit holder participation from the 2019 SIPS survey with minimum $500 allocations, maximum of 70% of total stocking allocation from SIPS and percentage of available fishing area. Below is a list of the impoundment allocations and SIPS permit holder participation for 2018-2019.
