Description of Security Regulated Port – Port of Eden

The Security Regulated Port of Eden is all that area of land and water contained within and bounded by a line commencing at the point on the high water mark of the coastline of Twofold Bay in New South Wales, near Cocora Point west of Eden, nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 26.74" south, longitude 149° 53’ 49.29" east;

• thence generally easterly but initially north-easterly along that high water mark of the coastline of Snug Cove for a distance of approximately 2 kilometres to its intersection with the Snug Cove wharf face nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 24.18" south, longitude 149° 54’ 31.56" east;
• thence west-south-westerly along that wharf face for a distance of approximately 50 metres to its intersection with the security fence nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 25.01" south, longitude 149° 54’ 29.94" east;
• thence generally south-westerly but initially south-south-easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 90 metres to the corner of that security fence nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 26.79" south, longitude 149° 54’ 28.22" east;
• thence south-south-easterly along the unfenced geodesic line for a distance of approximately 30 metres to the point on the high water mark of the southern side of the Eden Breakwater nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 27.65" south, longitude 149° 54’ 28.92" east;
• thence generally easterly along the high water mark of the coastline of Twofold Bay for a distance of approximately 1.4 kilometres past Lookout Point to the point on that high water mark nearest to the point of latitude 37° 04’ 21.93" south, longitude 149° 55’ 02.04" east;
• thence north-easterly along the geodesic line across the entrance to Calle Calle Bay to the point on the high water mark of the coastline of New South Wales at Worang Point nearest to the point of latitude 37° 03’ 22.63" south, longitude 149° 56’ 35.29" east;
• thence southerly along the geodesic line across the entrance to Twofold Bay to the point on the high water mark of the coastline of New South Wales at Red Point nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 03.27" south, longitude 149° 57’ 12.43" east;
• thence generally easterly but initially southerly along the high water mark of the southern coastline of Twofold Bay and then the high water mark of the coastline of East Boyd Bay for a total distance of approximately 3.5 kilometres to the intersection of that high water mark of the coastline of East Boyd Bay with the security fence on the northern side of the jetty to the Multi-Purpose Berth nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 20.82" south, longitude 149° 55’ 47.80" east;
• thence east-north-easterly along that security fence for a distance of approximately 10 metres to the intersection of security fences nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 20.66" south, longitude 149° 55’ 48.22" east;
• thence south-easterly along the security fence at the eastern end of the jetty to the Multi-Purpose Berth for a distance of approximately 10 metres to the corner of the security fence on the northern side of the security gates to the Multi-Purpose Berth nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 20.92" south, longitude 149° 55’ 48.52" east;
• thence south across those security gates for a distance of approximately 8 metres to the corner of the security fence on the southern side of the access gates nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 21.17" south, longitude 149° 55’ 48.52" east;
• thence west along the security fence on the southern side of the jetty for a distance of approximately 20 metres to its intersection with the high water mark of the coastline of East Boyd Bay nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 21.17" south, longitude 149° 55’ 47.71" east;
• thence generally west-south-westerly along that high water mark for a distance of approximately 2.4 kilometres to a point near Brierly Point on that high water mark nearest to the point of latitude 37° 06’ 36.58" south, longitude 149° 54’ 46.88" east;

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 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 geodesic lines.
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
