Notes:

1. The ‘high water mark’ referred to in this Port Description and associated maps means the line of ‘mean high water springs’.

2. Unless otherwise stated, all coordinates are in WGS84 geodetic datum.

3. The description is based on survey conducted on 22-26 September 2008 and compilation from material provided by the Gladstone Port Corporation and Office of Transport Security.

4. 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.

5. Unless stated otherwise, the Security Regulation Port described above includes all water and land inside the area and excludes all private or recreational wharves, jetties and marinas.

6. Unless otherwise stated the landside boundaries are fenced.

7. Unless otherwise stated the lines between co-ordinates are rhumb lines (loxodromes).

8. This description is should be read in conjunction with the Security Regulation Port Boundary maps.

9. In the event of an inconsistency between the written description and the maps, the former prevails.
