Draft Shotover River Bylaw 2021

We're proposing a new draft Shotover River Bylaw 2021 and we want to know what you think about it.

The current Shotover River Bylaw 2015 regulates a portion of the Shotover River (Concession Area) by reserving the Concession Area for use by persons and craft that have a permit granted by Council or its delegate for the purposes of maritime safety.

QLDC is proposing to retain the same restrictions on public access to the Concession Area in the proposed Shotover River Bylaw 2021, with the following minor amendments:

1. The word “craft” has been replaced with the word “vessel” for consistency with the Navigation Safety Bylaw 2018;
2. The addition of the word “only” in the purpose to ensure clarity that the bylaw is only in respect of the Concession Area;
3. In the 'Permit to access the Concession Area' section, the addition of “Any future permits applied for by parties or individuals with a history of non-compliance with the Bylaw may be rejected;” and
4. Correcting minor errors
