SECURITY REGULATED PORT BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
Description of Port of Broome
State: Western Australia
Map Number: 69817
The Security Regulated Port of Broome is all that area of land and water contained within and bounded by a line commencing at a point in the Indian Ocean at latitude 17º 55’ 24.00” south, longitude 122º 09’ 24.00” east;
Thence east along that parallel of latitude to a point on the high water mark of the coastline of Western Australia closest to longitude 122º 12’ 34.00” east,
Thence generally south-south-westerly along that high water mark for a distance of approximately 11 kilometres to a point on the high water mark of that coastline closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.77” south, longitude 122º 11’ 37.48” east;
Thence easterly along an unfenced geodesic line for a distance of approximately 900 metres to the corner of a security fence closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.74” south, longitude 122º 12’ 08.55”east;
Thence easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 145 metres to its intersection with the western side of Port Drive closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.74” south, longitude 122º 12’ 13.52”east;
Thence easterly across Port Drive for a distance of approximately 50 metres to the corner of a security fence on the eastern side of Port Drive closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.74” south, longitude 122º 12’ 15.23”east;
Thence easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 140 metres to the corner of the fence closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.73” south, longitude 122º 12’ 19.91”east;
Thence easterly along an unfenced boundary for a distance of approximately 400 metres to the high water mark of the coastline of Western Australia within Roebuck Bay closest to latitude 17º 59’ 39.72” south, longitude 122º 12’ 33.40”east;
Thence initially north-easterly but generally east-north-easterly along that high water mark to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 122º 20’ 18.00” east closest to latitude 17º 58’ 48.81” south;
Thence south along that meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 18º 03’ 36.00” south;

Thence north along that meridian of longitude 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 in reference 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 October 2009 and information provided by the Broome Port Authority and Western Australian Land Information Authority.
