Thought I would try and collate info on the new SIP permits.In the one thread.

Fishing in stocked impoundments

Download a larger map (PDF, 1.86MB) of Queensland showing the locations of SIPS impoundments or view an interactive map of Queensland showing SIPS impoundments and agents.

Before you go fishing in a Queensland impoundment (dam or weir), check the list below to see if you need to purchase a Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP).

There are 63 stocked impoundments in the state where a SIP is required to fish.

The permit covers access to all 63 impoundments and allows you to fish with recreational fishing lines only.

About the permit

Permits cost:

• $10.00 per week
• $50.00 per year
• $36.00 per year if you are entitled to a discount*

* You are entitled to a discount if you have a Queensland Government Seniors Card, Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card or a Repatriation Health Care Card (Gold Card).

All persons over the age of 18 years must hold a permit when fishing in SIPS impoundments. Children and teenagers under 18 years do not require a permit to fish in SIPS impoundments.

You must carry your permit (digital email, digital sms, paper receipt) with you when fishing in a stocked impoundment and produce it on request by QBFP.

Digital permits

No need to print out your permit. A digital permit will instantly be emailed and/or sms to you when a permit is purchased online, at selected sub-agent outlets and over the phone.

A digital permit will also be emailed within 24 hours of purchase when a permit is purchased over the counter via Australia Post outlets.

Purchase a permit

A SIP can be purchased:

• online
• over the counter at Queensland and selected NSW Australia Post outlets
• at selected sub-agent outlets throughout the state.
• via phone on 1300 575 359 (permit purchases only, for general SIPS enquiries phone 13 25 23).

Funds raised by stocked impoundment permits

Impoundments are 'put, grow and take' fisheries where most stocked species will not reproduce. This means the impoundments need to be stocked regularly.

The money anglers pay for their stocked impoundment permits goes towards enhancing recreational fishing in stocked impoundments and management of the scheme.

The following financial summaries provide details about permit sales, the scheme’s budget and how the funds available for fish stocking were allocated for the financial year:

Note my personal preference is to purchase from one of sub agents and give them some support for their past support. I wonder if they now will get a commission as I am certain that Australia  post will not be doing it for free.

You will no longer require a separate permit to fish Hinze ( Lake Advancetown) here is page from the stocking assn.

The Hinze Dam Fish Management Committee is charged with stocking the dam. In 2016 there were 67,000 bass fingerlings released in the dam. All funds for stocking are raised by Anglers through a permit system.

Fishing Permits

As of 1 July 2016 the Hinze Dam will be part of the Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) Scheme. A SIP permit is required to fish the dam and can be purchased here.

All existing permits will be honoured under the SIP Scheme until their expiry.

The recreational use of North Pine Dam is still under review by SEQ water ( Ongoing for last 3 years) there is a proposal to allow kayak fishing but before this can happen there will need to be considerable infrastructure such as access roads,parking areas and toilets provided.

SEQ water have already stated that all watercraft will not be allowed in any of the existing areas near the dam wall such as Bullockys etc as they are located too close to the water intake areas.

In the meantime boating and sailing access is available via  Lake Sampsonvale Water Sports Assn. ( NO fishing allowed in their area) Boating ( Electric and paddle only) provided via PRFMA boating access scheme. ( Currently no new permits available with a new round available after 15th August  http://www.prfma.com.au/boating-access-scheme.
