Part 3—Special Purpose Area Zone (IUCN Category VI – Managed Resource Protected Area)

All of that area within the Southern Ocean and Tasman Sea, excluding any coastal waters* in relation to the State of Tasmania, contained within and bounded as follows**:

(i) commencing at the intersection of the meridian of longitude 146 degrees 56 minutes 17 seconds east, with the outer limit of the coastal waters* of Tasmania at approximate latitude 43 degrees 40 minutes 30 seconds south; (ii) then generally easterly along the outer limit of the coastal waters* of Tasmania to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 147 degrees 13 minutes 6 seconds east; (iii) then south‑easterly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 34 minutes 44 seconds south, longitude 148 degrees 49 minutes 41 seconds east; (iv) then south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 53 minutes 5 seconds south, longitude 147 degrees 22 minutes 17 seconds east; (v) then north‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 30 minutes south, longitude 147 degrees 14 minutes east; (vi) then east along the parallel of latitude 44 degrees 30 minutes south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 147 degrees 25 minutes east; (vii) then north along the meridian of longitude 147 degrees 25 minutes east, to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 44 degrees 16 minutes south; (viii) then south‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of latitude 44 degrees 18 minutes 50 seconds south, longitude 147 degrees 15 minutes 50 seconds east; (ix) then west along the parallel of latitude 44 degrees 18 minutes 50 seconds south, to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 147 degrees 10 minutes east; and (x) then north‑westerly along the geodesic to the point of commencement.

* The coastal waters are defined in relation to each State and the Northern Territory by the Coastal Waters (State Powers) Act 1980 and Coastal Waters (Northern Territory Powers) Act 1980.
