COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN RECEIVE FINANCIAL RELIEF

Commercial fishermen affected by the recent bushfire crisis will share in $1-million worth of financial relief from the state government.

More than a thousand fishing businesses were hurt by difficulty in delivering products to wholesalers, and accessing fishing grounds.

The relief package will see fishermen not have to pay an installment of management charges due late last month, those who already have will receive credit.
