Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Proclamation (under the EPBC Act) declares a national network of Commonwealth marine reserves (Schedules 1–5), fixes their precise boundaries and coordinates, assigns IUCN categories and internal zones, and specifies included seabed/land depth (1,000 m) for each reserve (ss.4,6–9,11). It revokes earlier reserve proclamations (s.12). The Commonwealth (Governor‑General/Minister) determines the areas and zoning; users — fisheries, oil and gas operators and other marine industries — face changed access, mapping and compliance requirements.
