#### 25 Motorised watersports—definition for Zoning Plan
In the Zoning Plan:
> motorised watersports means any of the following:
(a) irregular driving of a motorised vessel—that is, driving such a vessel otherwise than in a straight line, including:
(i) driving in a circular pattern; or
(ii) weaving or diverting; or
(iii) surfing down, or jumping over or across, any wave, swell or wash;
except for any necessary turn or diversion;
(b) any activity in which a motorised vessel tows a person on top of the water or in the air, for example, waterskiing or parasailing;
(c) any activity in which:
(i) a vessel is operated at a speed greater than 35 knots; or
(ii) a personal watercraft is used;
except transport by the most direct reasonable route (not including irregular driving) between 2 places.
> Note: The definition for the Zoning Plan is similar to the definition of motorised water sport in regulation 3 except that paragraph (b) of that definition also applies to high‑speed vessels and subparagraph (c)(ii) relates to submerging for viewing coral.
