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 GDA94 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.
