sec.12 Working out lines by reference to 2 points
This section states the method for working out a line mentioned in this plan if the line must be worked out by reference to 2 points. If both points are on the landward boundary of the marine park (each a boundary point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the 2 boundary points. If 1 point is on the landward boundary of the marine park (the boundary point ) and the other point is either landward or seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the non-boundary point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the boundary point; the point where the geodesic that passes through the boundary point and the non-boundary point intersects the landward boundary of the marine park. If 1 point is landward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the starting point ) and the other point is either landward or seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the ending point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the point where the geodesic that passes through the starting point and ending point intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near the starting point; the point where the geodesic that passes through the starting point and ending point intersects the landward boundary near the ending point. If both points are seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (each a seaward point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the point where the geodesic that passes through the 2 seaward points intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near 1 of the seaward points; the point where the geodesic that passes through the 2 points intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near the other seaward point. (sec.12-ssec.1) This section states the method for working out a line mentioned in this plan if the line must be worked out by reference to 2 points. (sec.12-ssec.2) If both points are on the landward boundary of the marine park (each a boundary point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the 2 boundary points. (sec.12-ssec.3) If 1 point is on the landward boundary of the marine park (the boundary point ) and the other point is either landward or seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the non-boundary point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the boundary point; the point where the geodesic that passes through the boundary point and the non-boundary point intersects the landward boundary of the marine park. (sec.12-ssec.4) If 1 point is landward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the starting point ) and the other point is either landward or seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (the ending point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the point where the geodesic that passes through the starting point and ending point intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near the starting point; the point where the geodesic that passes through the starting point and ending point intersects the landward boundary near the ending point. (sec.12-ssec.5) If both points are seaward of the landward boundary of the marine park (each a seaward point ), the line is the line that runs along a geodesic between the following points— the point where the geodesic that passes through the 2 seaward points intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near 1 of the seaward points; the point where the geodesic that passes through the 2 points intersects the landward boundary of the marine park near the other seaward point.
