### sec.47B Laws with specific application not to apply
Nothing in this part makes a provision of the laws of the State applicable in or in relation to a particular place—
to the extent the provision is incapable of applying in or in relation to that place; or
if those laws expressly provide that the provision does not extend or apply in or in relation to that place; or
if those laws expressly provide that the provision applies only in a stated locality in the State that does not include that place.
A provision of the laws of the State is not to be taken to be a provision to which subsection (1) applies merely because it is limited in its application to acts, matters and things within Queensland waters, coastal waters or the adjacent area, however described, of the State.
