DAFF correspondence documents an "Enduring Partnership" initiative between the department, the Prime Minister and Cabinet office, and Tasmanian salmon farm operators (Huon, Petuna, and Tassal) in Macquarie Harbour. Following a Prime Minister's letter committing to introduce legislation supporting sustainable salmon farming, DAFF facilitated industry engagement meetings in March 2025 to establish the partnership framework. DAFF's stated role involved canvassing industry interests regarding amendments to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, coordinating with the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and avoiding discussions about the Environmental Minister's concurrent EPBC Act reconsideration process. The correspondence indicates government commitment to balancing productive aquaculture operations with environmental protection objectives in the Harbour.
