hereby accredit the Victorian Fisheries Regulations 1998 and the Victorian Fisheries Act 1995, to the extent that the Regulations and Act apply to the Victorian Scallop Fishery, pursuant to sections 208A, 222A, 245 and 265 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) for the purposes of Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Part 13 of the EPBC Act.
