   ✓ Zone is assigned to the marine park named in column 1. Prescriptions 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of this plan explain the assignment of zones.
Note: The South-east Network has 2 types of Habitat Protection Zone (IV): Habitat Protection Zone (IV) and Habitat Protection Zone (Macquarie) (IV). The variation in management approach for this zone category is prescribed in Section 4.3 (Prescriptions for activities).

4.2           Managing activities
This plan enables a range of activities to be carried out in the South-east Network that would otherwise be prohibited or controlled by Division 4 of Part 15 of the EPBC Act and Part 12 of the EPBC Regulations.
Chapter 4 sets out, for marine parks of the South-east Network, which activities are:

     1.       allowed, without the need for separate authorisation, where consistent with IUCN zone objectives (Section 4.1) and carried out in accordance with this chapter

     2.       allowable and able to be carried out if a separate authorisation is issued (Section 4.5 Authorisation of activities); or

     3.       not allowed, because they are not consistent with zone objectives (Section 4.1).

Chapter 4 also sets out:

     1.       the assessment and decision-making process for authorising an activity (Section 4.4 Making decisions about activities)

     2.       the types of authorisations that may be issued (permits, class approvals, activity licences and leases) (Section 4.5 Authorisation of activities)

     3.       how activities must be undertaken in the South-east Network (Section 4.3 Prescriptions for activities).

The prescriptions support an adaptive management approach to respond to new information. Any changes to the management of activities would be made in accordance with Section 4.4.1 (Decision-making). The Director may provide additional guidance (for example, consultation guidelines) outside this plan to support the assessment process.
Under the EPBC Regulations, the Director may make a determination to place additional restrictions on activities that are allowed or allowable according to this plan, if park objectives are not being met.
In accordance with section 359A of the EPBC Act, this plan does not prevent Indigenous people from continuing, in accordance with law, the traditional use of an area in a marine park for non‑commercial hunting or food gathering and for ceremonial and religious purposes. Section 8 of the EPBC Act provides that this plan does not affect the operation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth), which also includes provisions that preserve customary rights to use land and waters (Schedule 2).

    4.2.1     Environmental approvals and other applicable laws
Depending on the type of activity, other provisions of the EPBC Act, EPBC Regulations or other legislation (for example, fisheries laws) may
