Zoning takes into account the purposes for which the marine parks were declared, the objectives of this plan (Section 1.4), the values of the marine park (Schedule 2), and the requirements of the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations. Figure 3.1 and maps in Schedule 2 show the zones assigned to the Temperate East Network, Schedule 4 describes the zones assigned, and the management approach applied to activities within these zones is provided in Part 4. An overview of the Temperate East Network marine parks and zones is provided in Table S2.1.
