1.6 Interpretation — geographic coordinates etc

 (1) In this Zoning Plan, all references to geographic coordinates are expressed in terms of the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994.

Note   The Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (also known as GDA 94) was published in Gazette No. GN 35 of 6 September 1995.

 (2) Unless otherwise specified in this Zoning Plan, a boundary is taken to follow the geodesic between 2 coordinates.

 (3) For this Zoning Plan, if the boundary descriptions of 2 zones described in Schedule 1 partly or completely overlap, the area of overlap is taken to be part of the highest applicable zone specified in the following list:
 (a) Preservation Zone;
 (b) Scientific Research Zone;
 (c) Marine National Park Zone;
 (d) Buffer Zone;
 (e) Conservation Park Zone;
 (f) Habitat Protection Zone;
 (g) General Use Zone.

 (4) For subsection (3):
 (a) the highest applicable zone is specified by paragraph (3) (a); and
 (b) successively lower applicable zones are specified by paragraphs (3) (b) to (f); and
 (c) the lowest applicable zone is specified by paragraph (3) (g).

 (5) An area that is part of the Commonwealth Islands Zone is not part of any other zone.

Examples for subsections (3), (4) and (5)
1.   The boundary of the Habitat Protection Zone described in Part 2 of Schedule 1 does not include any area within that boundary that is described in Part 3 (Conservation Park Zone), Part 4 (Buffer Zone), Part 5 (Scientific Research Zone), Part 6 (Marine National Park Zone), Part 7 (Preservation Zone) or Part 8 (Commonwealth Islands Zone) of Schedule 1.
2.   An area that is within the boundary description of the Marine National Park Zone and also within the boundary description of the Habitat Protection Zone is zoned as part of the Marine National Park Zone (because the Habitat Protection Zone is a lower applicable zone than the Marine National Park Zone).

Note for subsections (3), (4) and (5)   Zones described in Schedule 1 are described with reference to their outermost boundary and do not include areas of other zones that may fall within that boundary description — see the examples below and the notes to Parts 1 to 8 of Schedule 1.
