SECURITY REGULATED PORT BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION

Description of Port of Albany

State: Western Australia

Map Number: Geocat 69980

The Security Regulated Port of Albany is all of that area of land and water contained within and bounded by a line commencing at a point at the intersection of a security fence with the high water mark of the coastline of Western Australia on the northern coastline of Ataturk Entrance closest to latitude 35° 02' 15.00" south, longitude 117°54' 34.02" east (Point 1);

thence initially south-south-easterly but generally west-north-westerly sequentially connecting channel markers within Princess Royal Harbour closest to coordinates:

Point Latitude Longitude Feature

thence north along that meridian of longitude for a distance of approximately 5 metres to its intersection with the high water mark of the State of Western Australia and a Security Fence (under construction) on a breakwater closest to latitude 35° 01' 56.59" south (Point 9);

thence initially northerly but generally easterly along that Security fence under construction and existing security fence for a total distance of approximately 420 metres sequentially connecting points closest to coordinates:

Point Latitude Longitude

thence initially easterly across a security gate then generally south-easterly along a security fence on the southern side of Princess Royal Drive for a total distance of approximately 150metres, to the western side of a security gate closest to latitude 35° 01' 59.95" south, longitude 117° 53' 37.82" east (Point 13);

thence initially easterly across that security gate then generally east-south-easterly along the security fence on the southern side of Princess Royal Drive for a total distance of approximately 400 metres sequentially connecting points closest to coordinates:

thence initially easterly across a security gate then generally east-south-easterly along a security fence on the southern side of Princess Royal Drive for a total distance of approximately 360 metres sequentially connecting points closest to coordinates:

thence initially easterly across the security gate then generally easterly along a security fence to the south of Princess Royal Drive for a total distance of approximately 770 metres sequentially connecting points closest to coordinates:

thence generally south-easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 120 metres to the intersection of two security fences closest to latitude 35° 02' 14.77" south, longitude 117° 54' 33.59" east (Point 29);

thence continuing south-easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 15 metres to the point of commencement.

Notes:

1. The ‘high water mark’ referred to in the Port Description and associated maps means the line of ‘mean high water springs’.
2. Unless otherwise stated, all coordinates are referenced to the WGS 84 geodetic datum.
3. In the event that a point of latitude and longitude which is stated to lie on the high water mark is found to lie on the landward or seaward side of the high water mark the point is to be regarded as being the point on the high water mark closest to that point of latitude and longitude.
4. Unless stated otherwise, the Security Regulated Port described above includes all water and land inside the area and excludes all private or recreational wharves, jetties and marinas.
5. Unless otherwise stated the landside boundaries are fenced.
6. Unless otherwise stated the lines between coordinates are rhumb lines (loxodromes).
7. This description should be read in conjunction with the Security Regulated Port Boundary map. In the event of an inconsistency between the written description and the map, the former prevails.
8. This description and the associated maps have been compiled from field data captured in February 2010 and information provided by the Albany Port Authority and the Western Australian State Government.
