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 positions 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 described 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 positions 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 April 2008, and information provided by the Port Authority in plans dated January 2008.
