### sec.206A General manager’s power to fix speed limits for ships The general manager may fix speed limits for ships, other than speed limits for ships for Gold Coast waters, by gazette notice. The gazette notice is not subordinate legislation. A person must not operate a ship at a speed of more than a speed limit fixed under this section. Maximum penalty—200 penalty units. The general manager may erect or mark, at a place in waters for which a speed limit is fixed under subsection (1) or adjacent to the waters, a sign (a speed sign ) stating the speed limit for the waters. A speed sign may be an official traffic sign except that the speed indicated by the number on the sign is the speed in knots. This section does not prevent a regulation making provision about speed limits. If there is an inconsistency between a regulation and a gazette notice, the regulation prevails to the extent of the inconsistency. It is declared that a gazette notice under this section is taken never to have been subordinate legislation. The general manager must publish on MSQ’s website information about all of the speed limits for ships, other than speed limits for ships for Gold Coast waters, including speed limits for ships fixed by the general manager and by regulation. s 206A ins 1996 No. 63 s 18 amd 2002 No. 29 s 16 sch 1 ; 2004 No. 9 s 8A ; 2012 No. 38 s 128 (sec.206A-ssec.1) The general manager may fix speed limits for ships, other than speed limits for ships for Gold Coast waters, by gazette notice.
