Part 9 Remote Natural Area

The area bounded by a line commencing at of latitude 14° 18.27′ S, longitude 145° 39′ E on the eastern boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Region then running progressively:

1. south-westerly along the geodesic which passes through the point of latitude 14° 40′ S, longitude 144° 56.5′ E to its intersection by the coastline of the mainland at low water on the western boundary of the Region

2. generally north-westerly along that coastline at low water to its intersection by the parallel of latitude 14° 24′ S

3. east along that parallel to its intersection by the 5 kilometre line

4. generally northerly and north-westerly along that 5 kilometre line to its intersection by the meridian of longitude 144° 38′ E

5. south-westerly along the geodesic to the point of intersection of the meridian of longitude 144° 35.7′ E by the coastline of the mainland at low water

6. generally northerly, north-westerly, westerly and south-westerly along that coastline to its intersection by the meridian of longitude 144° 18′ E

7. north along that meridian to its intersection by the parallel which passes 5 kilometres north of the northernmost point of Stanley Island at low water

8. west along that parallel to its intersection by the meridian of longitude 144° 09′ E

9. south along that meridian to its intersection by the coastline of the mainland at low water

10. generally south-westerly, westerly, north-westerly and northerly along that coastline at low water to its intersection by the parallel of latitude 14° 08′ S

11. east along that parallel to its intersection by the 5 kilometre line

12. generally northerly along that 5 kilometre line to its intersection by the parallel of latitude 14° 03′ S

13. west along that parallel to its intersection by the coastline at low water

14. generally northerly along that coastline of the mainland at low water to its intersection by the parallel of latitude 13° 14′ S

15. east along that parallel to its intersection by the 5 kilometre line

16. generally northerly along that 5 kilometre line to its southernmost intersection by the 500 metre line around Binstead Islet Reef (reef 13-034)

17. generally north-westerly, northerly and north-easterly along that 500 metre line to its northernmost intersection by the 5 kilometre line

18. generally northerly along that 5 kilometre line to its southernmost intersection by the 500 metre line around Night Island Reef (reef 13-031)

19. generally north-westerly, northerly and north-easterly along that 500 metre line to its northernmost intersection by the 5 kilometre line
