SECURITY REGULATED PORT BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION
Description of Port of Wyndham
State: Western Australia
Map Number: Geocat 70160
The Security Regulated Port of Wyndham is all of that area of land and water in the State of Western Australia contained within and bounded by a line commencing at a point on the open-water edge of the mangroves on the western coastline of the West Arm of Cambridge Gulf, Western Australia, nearest to the point of latitude 15º 27’ 50.38” south, longitude 128º 03’ 43.85” east;
thence generally northerly along the open-water edge of mangroves for a distance of approximately 18 kilometres, crossing the mouths of all confluent watercourses, to its intersection with the southerly prolongation of the alignment of two channel markers either side of the mouth of Forrest River near Laffan Point, nearest to the point of latitude 15º 18’ 42.24” south, longitude 128º 03’ 53.04” east;
thence north-north-easterly along the alignment of those two channel markers across Forrest River for a distance of approximately 1.2 kilometres to its intersection with the open-water edge of mangroves of the north side of that river nearest to the point of latitude 15º 18’ 04.97” south, longitude 128º 04’ 05.99” east;
thence generally north-easterly along the alignment of the open-water edge of mangroves on the western coastline of the West Arm of Cambridge Gulf for a distance of approximately 3.6 kilometres to a point on that edge of mangroves near Pender Point nearest to the point of latitude 15º 16’ 54.70” south, longitude 128º 05’ 36.82” east;
thence easterly along the geodesic line across that West Arm of Cambridge Gulf for a distance of approximately 3.5 kilometres to a point on the open-water edge of the mangroves on the eastern coastline of the West Arm of Cambridge Gulf nearest to the point of latitude 15º 16’ 54.71” south, longitude 128º 07’ 34.95” east;
thence generally southerly along that edge of mangroves on that coastline for a distance of approximately 19 kilometres, crossing the mouths of all confluent watercourses, to a point on the open-water edge of the mangroves approximately 30 metres north of the northern edge of the jetty to the Wyndham Wharf nearest to the point of latitude 15º 26’ 58.27” south, longitude 128º 06’ 08.36” east;
thence inland south-easterly along the unfenced geodesic line for a distance of approximately 55 metres to the point of intersection of the northern side of the jetty with the security fence near the eastern end of the jetty nearest to the point of latitude
15º 26’ 59.52” south, longitude 128º 06’ 09.66” east;
thence southerly along the unfenced geodesic line for a total distance of approximately 500 metres to the point of intersection of the southern side of the southern access jetty to Wyndham Wharf with the security fence near the eastern end of that jetty nearest to the point of latitude 15º 27’ 15.42” south, longitude 128º 06’ 06.28” east;
thence south-westerly along the unfenced geodesic line for a distance of approximately 40 metres to a point on the open-water edge of the mangroves approximately 30 metres south of the southern edge of the southern jetty to Wyndham
Wharf nearest to the point of latitude 15º 27’ 16.20” south, longitude 128º 06’ 05.15” east;
thence generally southerly along that edge of mangroves for a distance of approximately 1.2 kilometres to a point nearest to the point of latitude 15º 27’ 41.52” south, longitude 128º 05’ 59.60” east;
thence westerly along the geodesic line across that West Arm of Cambridge Gulf for a distance of approximately 4 kilometres to the point of commencement.
Notes:
1. Unless otherwise stated, all coordinates are in reference to the WGS 84 geodetic datum.
2. In the event that a point of latitude and longitude which is stated to lie on the edge of mangroves is found to lie on the landward or seaward side of the edge of mangroves, the point is to be regarded as being the point on the edge of mangroves closest to that point of latitude and longitude.
3. Unless stated otherwise, the Security Regulated Port described above includes all water and land inside the area and excludes all private or recreational wharves and jetties.
4. Unless otherwise stated the lines between coordinates are geodesic lines.
5. 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.
6. This description and the associated map have been compiled from information provided by the Office of Transport Security, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government in January 2010.
