How the funds were allocated

The working group looked at a number of allocation models for the 2021 grants. After discussion the majority of the working group supported applying a formula with 40% of funds allocated by surface area capped at 4,000 hectares maximum with available fishing area, and the remaining 60% 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. This formula has now been formalised in the Guideline on the administration of Queensland’s Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme.

Allocation amounts were based on a total revenue of $1,168,156. A total of $892,000 (ex GST) was allocated for community engagement and stocking of impoundments in 2021–2022. Freshwater Fishing and Stocking Association of Queensland was allocated $20,000 to run the Freshwater Fishing and Stocking Workshop in partnership with Fisheries Queensland and Mackay Regional Council and $872,000 was allocated to impoundments for fish stocking and other approved activities.

Below is a list of the impoundment allocations and SIPS permit holder participation for 2020–2021. Total allocation reflects adjustments due to carryover caps.
