Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This direction creates a narrow exemption from Australia’s coastal trading licence rules to allow foreign and domestic vessels to carry cargo and passengers between Norfolk Island and any Australian state or mainland territory without a licence. It’s designed to keep supplies flowing to the remote island by widening who can operate those routes. The exemption is lost if the same voyage also involves domestic trade between mainland ports.
