61A Compulsory pilotage area

 (1) For the definition of compulsory pilotage area in subsection 3 (1) of the Act, the following parts of the Great Barrier Reef Region are prescribed:

 (a) the inner route described in subregulation (2);

 (b) Hydrographer’s Passage (described in subregulation (3));

 (c) the Whitsundays compulsory pilotage area described in subregulation (4).

 (2) The inner route is the waters bounded by:

 (a) the Australian mainland; and

 (b) the outer eastern edge of the Great Barrier Reef; and

 (c) the northern boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Region; and

 (d) the parallel 16 39.91S.

 (3) Hydrographer’s Passage is the area bounded by a line that progressively joins, on geodesic lines, the following points:

| Item | Latitude | Longitude | | 1 | 20 39.11 S | 149 49.36 E | | 2 | 20 35.91 S | 150 07.36 E | | 3 | 20 28.31 S | 150 18.06 E | | 4 | 20 02.91 S | 150 03.06 E | | 5 | 19 54.91 S | 150 16.56 E | | 6 | 19 39.91 S | 150 10.56 E | | 7 | 19 50.91 S | 150 33.06 E | | 8 | 20 01.41 S | 150 25.86 E | | 9 | 20 06.91 S | 150 17.26 E | | 10 | 20 19.91 S | 150 27.06 E | | 11 | 20 32.91 S | 150 27.06 E | | 12 | 20 41.51 S | 150 11.66 E | | 13 | 20 54.41 S | 150 01.96 E | | 14 | 20 39.11 S | 149 49.36 E. |

 (4) The Whitsundays compulsory pilotage area is the area bounded by a line that begins at the northernmost point of Cape Gloucester at low water, at about 20 03.94 S, 148 27.51 E, and continues progressively:

 (a) on geodesic lines to the following points:
