Foreword
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority acknowledges the continuing sea country management and custodianship of the Great Barrier Reef by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners whose rich cultures, heritage values, enduring connections and shared efforts protect the Great Barrier Reef for future generations.
The Great Barrier Reef is recognised internationally as a World Heritage Area under the World Heritage Convention, and nationally as having 6 of the 7 matters of national environmental significance listed in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. These matters are: World Heritage properties, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, National Heritage places, Commonwealth marine areas, listed migratory species and listed threatened species and ecological communities.
The legislative and planning framework protecting these significant values and managing use within the Planning Area sits primarily in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 (the Act). This Plan regulates some matters mentioned in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan 2003 (the Zoning Plan), but does not otherwise affect the Zoning Plan.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (the Authority) has prepared the Whitsundays Plan of Management 1998 (the Plan) to protect and conserve the values of the Whitsunday Planning Area (the Planning Area) while allowing for a range of experiences and reasonable opportunities for access and use. The Planning Area includes the marine area around the Whitsunday Island Group and the offshore Hardy Reef Unit within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Planning Area is geographically described in Schedule 1.
Traditional Owners have recognised the outstanding value of the Great Barrier Reef since it formed 8,000 to 12,000 years ago. Across the Planning Area, Traditional Owners maintain their connection to land and sea country including the coast on the adjacent mainland, island areas, the Great Barrier Reef and its natural resources. The recorded sightings of Traditional Owners by James Cook in 1770 and the distinct Aboriginal rock art near Nara Inlet enrich Australia’s history and heritage for this unique region.
The Planning Area makes up 1% of the total area of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Recognised as a significant presentation area for Great Barrier Reef world heritage values, it is a showpiece tourism destination for Queensland. Receiving more than 40% of all visitors who travel to the Great Barrier Reef, over 1,000,000 tourists visited the Planning Area in 2016.
Visitors are attracted by the spectacular scenery of the numerous islands (most of which are State‑managed national parks), fringing inshore reefs and offshore reefs. The reefs and islands support a diverse range of animal and plant life. These include protected species such as humpback whales, marine turtles, beach stone‑curlews and Proserpine rock‑wallabies. The Planning Area and its adjacent islands hold pre‑recorded history of traditional use by Traditional Owners as well as sites of importance in the history of European presence, including several historically significant shipwrecks.
Tourism and recreation are the major uses of the Planning Area. The Whitsundays tourism industry supports a broad range of operation types with most visitors travelling on crewed vessels including day trips and overnight sailing operations. Other tourism use includes bareboats (uncrewed), scenic aircraft flights and cruise ships. The area is very popular for recreational sailing, snorkelling, fishing and accessing adjacent islands. An indication of its popularity is the continuing growth in recreational vessel registrations for the adjacent coastal communities. The area is also used for commercial fishing, research, education and traditional uses.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and particularly the Planning Area is facing increased pressures which can impact on the resilience of the ecosystems and the services and values they provide to the community. One of the key objectives of the Plan is to balance the protection of a wide range of significant values with ongoing ecologically sustainable use by multiple users. The Plan is intended to reduce or eliminate threats to the values of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, including the following values:
(a) nature conservation values;
(b) cultural and heritage values;
(c) community (including scientific) values.
Part 1 of the Plan outlines the values, issues and management strategies. Part 2 contains the enforcement provisions to enact key strategies. These are considered within the context of managing the entire Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Effective management is achieved through review of the Plan in response to new information and changing uses. To date, the Plan has been amended in 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2017. The key considerations in the 2017 amendments are:
(a) updating the Part 1 provisions to better align with current strategic management; and
(b) increasing flexibility of access for user groups, particularly superyachts (more than 35 metres to less than 70 metres in overall length) and motorised water sport users, while maintaining a range of experiences for all visitors (i.e. remote to developed); and
(c) expanding regular seaplane landing areas to address practicality concerns for take‑off and landings and increased opportunities for daily scenic flights; and
(d) ceasing reef walking as a permitted activity.
The Authority will continue to make amendments to the Plan as required, subject to statutory requirements.
Successful management is achieved through ongoing partnerships. Traditional Owners, all levels of government (particularly the Joint Field Management Program arrangements with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service), the tourism industry, other industries and the local community all contribute to the continued recognition and management of the Planning Area. To ensure use of the Planning Area can occur without threatening the values of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, the Authority encourages the Plan to be complemented by widespread use of responsible reef practices and cooperative working arrangements.

Part 1—Management of the Whitsunday Planning Area
Division 1—Preliminary
1.1 Name of this Plan
This Plan is the Whitsundays Plan of Management 1998.
1.2 Application of this Plan
This Plan applies to the area of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (the Marine Park) inside the Whitsunday Planning Area (the Planning Area).
1.3 Intent of this Plan
(1) The intent of this Plan, in conjunction with other management mechanisms, is to protect and conserve identified values, and world heritage values, of the Marine Park and Planning Area, while allowing for reasonable opportunities to access and use the Planning Area having regard to the precautionary principle.
Note 1: For world heritage values, see section 528 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (which is relevant because of subsection 3(1A) of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 and subsection 13(1) of the Legislation Act 2003).
Note 2: For precautionary principle, see subsection 3(1) of the Act (which is relevant because of subsection 13(1) of the Legislation Act 2003).
(2) Section 39Y of the Act sets out the following objects of plans of management:
(a) to ensure, for particular areas of the Marine Park in which the Authority considers that nature conservation values, cultural and heritage values, or scientific values, are, or may be, threatened, that appropriate proposals are developed to reduce or eliminate the threats;
(b) to ensure management for the recovery and continued protection and conservation of species and ecological communities that are, or may become:
(i) extinct; or
(ii) extinct in the wild; or
(iii) critically endangered; or
(iv) endangered; or
(v) vulnerable; or
(vi) conservation dependent;
(c) to ensure that activities within areas of the Marine Park are managed on the basis of ecologically sustainable use;
(d) to provide a basis for managing the uses of a particular area of the Marine Park that may conflict with other uses of the area or with the values of the area;
(e) to provide for the management of areas of the Marine Park in conjunction with community groups in circumstances where those groups have a special interest in the areas concerned;
(f) to enable people using the Marine Park to participate in a range of recreational activities.
(4) The Authority does not intend that this Plan will impair or extinguish any native title rights in the Planning Area.
1.4 Interpretation
(1) Unless the contrary intention appears, a term defined in Schedule 9 has the meaning given by that schedule.
(2) A reference in this Plan to a reef or other place, followed by an identification number (for example, “Bird Island 20‑019a”), is a reference to the reef or place depicted and numbered in:
(a) the map titled MPZ10—Whitsundays, published by the Authority in April 2011; or
(b) the map titled Special Edition—Whitsunday Group, published by the Authority in September 2011.
(3) There are discrete boundaries for Locations described in Schedule 3.
(5) If part of the boundary of a Location extends beyond the Planning Area, the Location boundary is taken to be the boundary of the Planning Area.
(6) In this Plan, all geographic coordinates are expressed in terms of the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94), published in Gazette No GN 35 of 6 September 1995.
Note 1: The intertidal areas and most of the islands are managed by the Queensland Government.
Note 2: The Commonwealth island of Eshelby Island 20‑012 and the southern part of Dent Island 20‑058c, and their intertidal areas, are managed by the Authority.
Division 2—Overview of values of the Planning Area
1.5Overview
(1) For the purposes of the Plan, the values of the Planning Area have been grouped into 3 categories:
(a) nature conservation; and
(b) cultural and heritage; and
(c) community (including scientific).
Note: Although the values have been grouped into 3 categories, it is noted that the values are interrelated and overlap. Values constantly evolve over time and are not static. Values (a) and (b) align with the objects of plans of management within the Act and value (c) has been incorporated and termed community values consistent with a broader range of objectives in the plan of management and the Act.
(2) This Division and Divisions 2A, 2B and 2C outline the values and associated issues specific to the Planning Area, as well as the management strategies to address them to ensure ecologically sustainable use.
(3) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Owners have continuing connections to traditional clan estates which are areas of great importance historically, culturally, socially and economically. This connection has been maintained despite a dynamic environmental shift during the last significant sea level rise (between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago), an altered state of living since European occupation and the modern use of marine and coastal environments. The Authority recognises that as custodians Traditional Owners have unique responsibilities, shared conservation interests and contrasting perspectives for some of the values and uses in the Planning Area.
(4) Climate change, land‑based run‑off, coastal development and some remaining impacts from fishing present threats to the Planning Area at a broader scale. Strategies for managing these threats are presented in the Reef 2050 Long‑Term Sustainability Plan (the Reef 2050 Plan).
(5) Increased visitation from vessels that have travelled internationally also presents the potential for increased biosecurity risks. Australia’s National System for the Prevention and Management of Marine Pest Incursions (including the Biosecurity Act 2015) aims to prevent new marine pests arriving, guide responses when a new pest does arrive and minimise the spread and impact of pests already established in Australia.
(6) The Planning Area is a complex natural system with multiple uses that is subject to successive and combined impacts on the environment (direct harm to marine life, reduced water quality and scenic amenity). This can also lead to adverse impacts on reef‑dependent enterprises. Managing the cumulative impacts presents a challenge requiring a strategic approach with practical decision‑support tools and methods together with supporting policy mechanisms (relating to offsets and net benefits) and stewardship.
Note: The Reef 2050 Plan’s Draft Cumulative Impact Management Policy, Draft Net Benefit Policy and Draft Offset Guideline for the Great Barrier Reef provide a systematic and consistent approach to achieve overall net benefit to the Great Barrier Reef.
Division 2A—Nature conservation values
Subdivision 1—Overview of nature conservation values
1.6 Overview
(1) Nature conservation values of the Planning Area that the Authority considers are, or may be, threatened include the following:
(a) water quality;
(b) corals and associated biota;
(c) habitats and marine animals;
(d) birds nesting or roosting in, or adjacent to, the Planning Area.
(2) To reduce or eliminate the threats to nature conservation values in the Planning Area, areas of unique or outstanding value have been assigned high levels of protection and, in some cases, access is limited in some areas.
Subdivision 2—Water Quality
1.7A Values
(1) The Authority has identified the following values relating to water quality in the Planning Area.
(2) Water in the Planning Area has long been a natural resource of significance to Traditional Owners, their spirituality and their physical health. From prehistoric to contemporary times saltwater areas and freshwater sites are regarded for their diversity in use and value. This includes language and place names, songlines, storylines, intimate traditional ecological knowledge, social enjoyment, historic travel and trade routes, access and use of coastal fishing places, fish traps, hunting grounds and traditional estates.
(3) Good water quality is essential for the optimal functioning and resilience of the ecological systems and the marine life they support.
(4) The clarity of water has supported the growth of a substantial tourism industry. Reef dependent industries receive direct economic benefits from a healthy reef ecosystem that is dependent upon good water quality.
(5) Water clarity is important for the enjoyment of, and satisfaction with, the environment. It is also important for safety, particularly diver safety.
1.7B Issues
(1) The Authority has identified the following issues relating to water quality in the Planning Area.
(2) Changes to water quality may affect the cultural and spiritual values held by Traditional Owners, the way they interact with water and how they use the natural resources that depend on it.
(3) Reduced water quality impacts on the condition of physical, chemical and ecological processes.
(4) Reduced underwater visibility can adversely impact on tourism operators and visitor experience.
(5) Broadly, factors adversely impacting on the water quality are as follows:
(a) land‑based run‑off;
(b) extreme weather events;
(c) coastal development;
(d) direct use from activities including the following:
(i) tourism;
(ii) use of ports;
(iii) shipping;
(iv) fishing;
(v) agricultural activities;
(vi) development.
(6) The Proserpine River directly influences water quality in the Planning Area. Nearby O’Connell, Pioneer, Plane, Burdekin and Fitzroy rivers also influence the water quality in the Planning Area. Potential sources of pollution from these river catchments include sediment, agricultural chemicals and fertilisers, discharge of treated sewage, marine debris and other chemicals including antifouling paint and fuel residues.
(7) There are potential impacts to marine life from the Planning Area’s complex hydrodynamics which can cause settled sediments to re‑suspend.
(8) The exchange of ballast water has the potential to impact on water quality.
Note 1: The acceptable area for ballast water exchange is 12 nautical miles from the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef under the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ballast Water and Sediments.
Note 2: Further information on ballast water exchange is available in the Australian Ballast Water Management Requirements Version 6 available at Strategies
(1) Work in partnership with Traditional Owner groups whose sea country includes the Planning Area to formalise their aspirations for sea country relating to water quality.
(2) Encourage investigation of the complex hydrodynamics in the Planning Area including the retention and resuspension of turbid water.
(3) Encourage investigation into the impacts of anchoring including chain swing at high‑use sites within and adjacent to the Planning Area.
(4) Encourage investigation of the effectiveness of current marine monitoring sites within the Planning Area.
(5) Monitor the water quality parameters identified in the Water Quality Guidelines for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and promptly respond where trigger values are exceeded.
Note: The Water Quality Guidelines for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park are available at (6) Monitor and improve management practices and the quality of water entering the Planning Area, and the Marine Park, under the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan 2013 through partnerships with the Commonwealth and Queensland governments, the Regional Natural Resource Management body and agricultural industries as part of the commitment.
(7) Apply the Dredging and Dredge Spoil Material Disposal Policy for the management of dredging and disposal of dredge spoil material in the Marine Park.
Note: The Dredging and Dredge Spoil Material Disposal Policy is available at (8) Encourage education and community awareness, stewardship and best practice for protecting or improving water quality through partnerships with the Commonwealth, Queensland and local governments, land holders and industry groups.
(9) Encourage vessel operators to obtain up‑to‑date management guidance and comply with inspection requirements to prevent and manage incursions from marine pests in Australia prior to entering the Planning Area.
Note: Information on Australia’s National System for the Prevention and Management of Marine Pest Incursions is available at (10) Encourage the management of vessels and movable structures within the Planning Area in a manner that avoids the accumulation of biofouling.
Note: Information on the National biofouling management guidelines and the Anti‑fouling and in‑water cleaning guidelines is available at and associated biota
1.8A Values
(1) The Authority has identified the following values relating to corals and associated biota in the Planning Area.
(2) Corals and associated biota are of great cultural, spiritual and social importance especially to Traditional Owners.
(3) The relatively clear waters of the northern part of the Planning Area have allowed for the growth and development of extensive and diverse reef structures and corals that are uncommon on fringing reefs.
(4) Coral reefs vary considerably from fragile hard and soft coral communities to species‑poor muddy reefs. The reefs significant for larval dispersal include but are not limited to those adjacent to Harold, Haslewood, Lindeman and Shaw Islands.
(5) A previously undescribed coral species (Goniastrea sp.) has been recorded at Double Bay, and a species of sponge (Rhabderemia sorokinae) has been recorded at Deloraine Island reef. They are believed to have a limited geographic distribution.
1.8B Issues
(1) The Authority has identified the following issues relating to corals and associated biota in the Planning Area.
(2) Fringing reefs around islands are limited throughout the Marine Park and are well represented in the Planning Area.
(3) The accessibility of fringing reefs make them vulnerable to degradation from excessive human use, including but not limited to anchoring, fin damage from diving and snorkelling, reef walking and collecting.
(4) The slower rate of coral recovery following natural disasters suggests recruitment and recovery from any future disaster may be reduced or take a long time.
(5) Coral and associated biota health is diminished with poor water quality influenced by land‑based run‑off, coastal development and intensified adjacent marine traffic.
(6) Outbreaks and high densities of the native predatory crown‑of‑thorns starfish and Drupella marine snails can cause significant coral damage and have a negative impact on the ecological composition of species representation.
(7) Coral and associated biota health has been affected by coral bleaching in the past and this is predicted to increase in the future.
(8) Coral disease is being increasingly observed and is predicted to increase in the future.
1.8C Strategies
(1) Work in partnership with Traditional Owner groups whose sea country includes the Planning Area to formalise their aspirations for sea country relating to coral and associated biota.
(2) Identify and prioritise coral reefs when determining management responses.
(3) Monitor the health and resilience of corals and associated biota and modify and/or implement management measures as required.
(4) Cease the activity of reef walking as part of a permitted activity.
(5) Continue to establish no‑anchoring areas at sites susceptible to anchor damage and where possible delineate the boundaries of these areas with reef protection markers (see subclause 2.12(3)).
Note: No‑anchoring area locations are detailed in the Regulations.
(6) Continue to provide public moorings where appropriate.
Note: Locations of public moorings are available at (7) Anchor with due care to avoid damaging coral and to use moorings when and where they are available.
Note 1: Private moorings can be used with prior agreement of the owner. Location and permittee details of private moorings are available at 2: Information about responsible reef practices for anchoring and mooring is available at (8) Prohibit a person from damaging coral in the Planning Area (see clause 2.12).
(9) Restrict large vessels and large ships to specific anchorage areas (see clause 2.4).
(10) Cap the number of relevant permissions for tourism operations that can anchor daily in the Planning Area.
(11) Manage and limit areas for high‑speed vessels and motorised water sport to minimise potential impacts with coral reef (see subclauses 2.8(1) to (4)).
(12) Discourage drifting of vessels to avoid potential impacts with coral reefs.
(13) Continue to have harvest fisheries and aquaculture operations occur outside the Planning Area.
(14) Encourage tourism operations to apply for permissions to assist with controlling outbreaks of predatory marine species such as the crown‑of‑thorns starfish and Drupella marine snails.
(15) Provide guidance about dredging coral reef habitat to persons who are operating a facility or carrying out works for the development of marine infrastructure.
Note: The policy Dredging coral reef habitat ‑ operating a facility or carrying out works for the development of marine infrastructure is available at (16) Require a relevant permission for the taking of coral under the Zoning Plan.
Note: Taking coral (including damaging or collecting coral) requires a relevant permission under the Zoning Plan. See the definition of taking in the Zoning Plan available at meadows, dugong and marine turtles
1.9A Values
(1) The Authority has identified the following values in relation to seagrass meadows, dugong and marine turtles in the Planning Area.
(2) Dugong, marine turtles, their habitats and lifecycles are of significant cultural, spiritual and social importance, especially to Traditional Owners.
(3) The Planning Area includes seagrass meadows at Repulse Bay, bays surrounding Whitsunday Island such as Tongue Bay, and mainland coastal bays such as Shoal Bay. Seagrass meadows are important habitats for dugong and green turtles as they provide a critical food source and important nursery habitat for a variety of marine life.
(4) Several threatened species of marine turtles inhabit the Planning Area.
1.9B Issues
(1) The Authority has identified the following issues relating to seagrass meadows, dugong and marine turtles in the Planning Area.
(2) Seagrass meadows throughout the Marine Park are facing increased pressure from poor water quality, and habitat loss and modification, resulting from increased land‑based run‑off, coastal development, marine traffic, intensity of extreme weather events, sea surface temperature and sea level rise.
(3) Dugong and marine turtles are adversely impacted (injury and death) by underwater noise, vessel strike, incidental capture or ingestion of marine debris.
(4) Marine turtle nesting sites adjacent to the Planning Area are vulnerable to human interference and hatchlings can be impacted by artificial light sources both on land and in the water when trying to access the ocean and navigate away from the beach.
1.9C Strategies
(1) Work in partnership with Traditional Owner groups whose sea country includes the Planning Area to formalise their aspirations for sea country relating to seagrass meadows, dugong and marine turtles.
(2) Enforce the Zoning Plan requirements for taking of protected species.
Note: Section 5.3 of the Zoning Plan refers to the entry to zones for the purpose of taking protected species. See the definition of taking in the Zoning Plan available at (3) Enforce the limits in the Zoning Plan and Regulations on netting and bait netting activities by commercial fishers particularly within the Species Conservation (Dugong Protection) Special Management Areas (Repulse Bay and Edgecumbe Bay).
(4) Encourage the use of responsible reef practices around dugong and marine turtles.
Note:Information about responsible reef practices around turtles is available at (5) Ensure the conditions of a permission for any new private mooring require the mooring to be designed, placed and installed in a way that assists the surrounding habitat and its ecological process to be maintained (see subclause 1.27(6)).
(6) Continue to provide public moorings where appropriate.
Note: Locations of public moorings are available at (7) Encourage the community to minimise the source and occurrence of marine debris in the Great Barrier Reef through education, clean‑up activities and the development of source reduction plans.
(8) Manage and limit areas for high‑speed vessels and motorised water sport to minimise potential impacts with dugong and marine turtles (see subclauses 2.8(1) to (4)).
Subdivision 5—Whales and dolphins

(4) Manage and limit areas for high‑speed vessels and motorised water sport to minimise potential impacts with whales and dolphins (see subclauses 2.8(1) to (4)).
(5) Encourage the community to minimise the source and occurrence of marine debris in the Great Barrier Reef through education, clean‑up activities and the development of source reduction plans.
(6) Apply the Authority’s operational policy to address the interaction of vessels, aircraft and people, with whales and dolphins.
Note: The Authority’s Operational Policy on Whale and Dolphin Conservation in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is available at Values
(1) The Authority has identified the following values relating to birds nesting, feeding or roosting in the Planning Area.
(2) Birds and their nesting, feeding and roosting areas are of significant cultural, spiritual and social importance, especially to Traditional Owners.
(3) Many migratory seabirds and shorebirds that visit the Planning Area and adjacent islands are recognised internationally under the Japan‑Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (the JAMBA), the China‑Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (the CAMBA) and the Republic of Korea—Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (the ROKAMBA).
(4) The following species are particularly important:
