Overview

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014, enacted by the Parliament of Australia, addresses the need to regulate and control activities within the Woomera Prohibited Area, a significant military and space-related area. The Rule was designed to safeguard national security, public safety, and environmental protection by delineating specific zones and determining the periods during which certain activities are excluded. This legislative instrument focuses on establishing exclusion periods for Amber Zone 1 and Amber Zone 2 for the financial year 2014-2015, aiming to balance the operational needs of the area with the requirements for public access and environmental stewardship. The policy objective is to ensure that the Woomera Prohibited Area is managed effectively to prevent unauthorised activities while allowing for necessary research, testing, and development.

Scope and Application

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 Determination of Exclusion Periods for Amber Zone 1 and Amber Zone 2 for Financial Year 2014-2015 sets out specific exclusion periods for areas designated as Amber Zone 1 and Amber Zone 2 within the Woomera Prohibited Area, applying to the financial year 2014-2015. This legislative instrument, as amended, provides detailed schedules outlining the specific dates during which these zones are subject to exclusion periods, thereby regulating activities within these areas during the financial year. This regulation is enacted under section 8 of the Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 and applies to anyone conducting activities within the specified zones during the mentioned financial year, thereby ensuring compliance with the determined exclusion periods. The zones are geographically confined within the Woomera Prohibited Area, a region subject to specific regulatory oversight due to its strategic importance. The application of this legislation is limited to the specified financial year and does not extend beyond the dates and zones outlined in the schedule, ensuring clarity and specificity in its enforcement.

Key Provisions

The Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014 Determination of Exclusion Periods for Amber Zone 1 and Amber Zone 2 for Financial Year 2014 - 2015 sets specific exclusion periods for parts of the Amber Zone within the Woomera Prohibited Area (section 8). For the financial year in question, the exclusion period for the part of Amber Zone 1 to the east of the Stuart Highway is from 18 May 2015 to 7 June 2015. These periods are detailed in the Schedule of the instrument, which is an integral part of the legislation, providing precise dates and zones that are subject to exclusion (Schedule). The Act imposes obligations on individuals and entities to adhere to these exclusion periods. Those who must comply with these provisions are expected to ensure that activities within the specified zones and during the exclusion periods are conducted in accordance with the regulations. This includes obtaining any necessary permits or authorisations before engaging in activities that may be restricted during these times (section 6). Breach of these exclusion periods can result in legal consequences. Although the specific penalties are not detailed in the legislative instrument itself, under the overarching Woomera Prohibited Area Rule 2014, penalties for non-compliance can be severe. These may include fines and potential imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach and the discretion of the courts. The exact penalties are typically outlined in the parent Act, which should be consulted for comprehensive details.
