This Regulation does the following 2 unconnected things:

(a)	it amends the definition of “vessel” in the Lord Howe Island (General) Regulation 1994 so as to limit the application of the relevant provisions of that Regulation to vessels longer than 5 metres (at present, the Regulation applies in respect of all vessels longer than 3 metres);
