SECURITY REGULATED PORT BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION

Description of Port of Port Latta

State: Tasmania

Map Number: 69386

The Security Regulated Port of Port Latta is all of that land and water contained within and bounded by a line commencing at the intersection of an arc of 3 nautical mile radius centred at a point on the seaward end of the Port Latta Ore Jetty structure closest to latitude 40º 50’ 04.20” south, longitude 145º 23’ 16.94” east, with the high water mark of the coastline of Tasmania near Peggs Beach closest to latitude 40º 50’ 29.35” south, longitude 145º 19’ 22.11” east (point1),

Thence in a clockwise direction around that arc of radius 3 nautical miles to a point on the high water mark of the coastline of Tasmania at latitude 40º 52’ 09.47” south, longitude 145º 26’ 07.37 east (point 2),

thence generally westerly along the high water mark of the coastline of Tasmania to its intersection with a security fence closest to latitude 40º 51' 02.12" south, longitude 145º 23' 22.94" east, (point 3);

thence initially westerly but generally west-south-westerly for approximately 1450 metres following a security fence closest to the points at coordinates;

thence northerly for a distance of approximately 25 metres across a security gate and low brick wall to the corner of a building closest to Latitude 40º 51' 05.35" south, longitude 145º 22' 46.73" E (point 18);

thence initially westerly then northerly along the southern and western walls of that building to the intersection with a security fence closest to latitude 40º 51' 05.03" south, longitude 145º 22' 46.57" east (point 19);

Thence westerly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 7 metres to a corner in that security fence closest to latitude 40º 51' 05.02" south, longitude 145º 22' 46.26" east (point 20);

Thence northerly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 50 metres to its intersection with the high water mark of the coastline of Tasmania near Hellyer Beach closest to latitude 40º 51' 03.39" south, longitude 145º 22' 46.21" east (point 21);

Thence generally westerly along that high water mark for a distance of approximately 5.7 kilometres 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’.
2. Unless otherwise stated, all coordinates are in 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
