### sec.206AA Gold Coast Waterways Authority’s power to fix speed limits for ships The Gold Coast Waterways Authority may, for Gold Coast waters, fix speed limits for ships 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 Gold Coast Waterways Authority 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. The Gold Coast Waterways Authority must publish on the authority’s website information about all of the speed limits for ships for Gold Coast waters, including speed limits fixed by the authority and by regulation. s 206AA ins 2012 No. 38 s 129 (sec.206AA-ssec.1) The Gold Coast Waterways Authority may, for Gold Coast waters, fix speed limits for ships by gazette notice.
