Schedule 1 Area of the fishery
Part 1 AFZ area (other than the Coral Sea zone)
The parts of the AFZ that are:
(a) within the area bounded by a notional line beginning at the intersection of the eastern coastline of the mainland at low water with the meridian of longitude 141° E, in the vicinity of the border between Victoria and South Australia and running:
south along that meridian to its intersection with the outer limit of the AFZ; and
generally southerly, easterly and northerly along that outer limit to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 144° 28 E that is off the coast of Queensland; and
south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 9° 54 S; and
south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 10° 15 S, longitude 144° 12 E; and
southerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 10° 28 S, longitude 144° 10 E; and
west along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 142° 31 49 E; and
south along that meridian to its intersection with the northern coastline of the mainland at low water, in the vicinity of Cape York; and
generally southerly along that coastline at low water to the point where the line began; and
(b) adjacent to Norfolk Island, except the area bounded by a notional line beginning at the point of latitude 28° 35 S, longitude 167° 25 E, and running:
east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 168° 25 E; and
south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 29° 50 S; and
west along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 167° 25 E; and
north along that meridian to the point where the line began.
Note If an arrangement about a particular fishery is made under Division 3 of Part 5 of the Act, State coastal waters may be taken to be part of the AFZ for the purposes of the management of the fishery: see section 76 of the Act.
Part 2 Coral Sea zone
The part of the AFZ that is within the area bounded by a notional line beginning at the intersection of the eastern coastline of the mainland at low water with the parallel of latitude 12° S, in the vicinity of Shelburne Bay, and running:
east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 145° E; and
southerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 14° S, longitude 147° E; and
southerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 17° S, longitude 149° E; and
south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 18° S; and
east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 152° E; and
south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 20° 28 49 S; and
west along that parallel to its intersection with the eastern coastline of the mainland at low water, in the vicinity of Proserpine; and
generally northerly along that coastline at low water to the point where the line began.
