6 Area of the Southern Sydney Protection Zone

  For clause 9 of Schedule 3A to the Act the Southern Sydney Protection Zone is the area contained within and bounded by a notional line as follows:
 (a) the line commences at the mean low water mark off the coastline of New South Wales closest to 33 53 21.5 S 151 17 07.6 E (point number 1), then running generally south easterly along the geodesic line as described in table 1:

Point Number  Latitude         Longitude
 2            33 53 36.7 S  151 17 23.3 E
 3            33 54 03.6 S  151 18 02.4 E
 4            33 55 56.5 S  151 21 39.7 E
 5            34 04 16.6 S  151 31 21.6 E
 6            34 08 01.1 S  151 36 14.9 E
 7            34 15 05.6 S  151 46 30.2 E

 (b) the line then runs generally south westerly along the geodesic line to 34 22 06.5 S 151 41 36.2 E (point number 8), then generally north westerly along the geodesic line as described in table 2:

         Table 2
Point Number  Latitude         Longitude
 9            34 19 48.5 S  151 37 23.6 E
 10           34 10 48.0 S  151 25 59.8 E
 11           34 00 38.2 S  151 22 08.1 E
 12           33 58 36.0 S  151 21 07.8 E
 13           33 58 08.4 S  151 20 45.8 E
 14           33 57 58.4 S  151 20 31.0 E
 15           33 55 53.7 S  151 16 21.4 E

 (c) the line then runs along the geodesic line to a point on the mean low water mark off the coastline of New South Wales closest to the point 33 55 53.7 S 151 15 36.5 E (point number 16);
 (d) the line then runs generally northerly along that mean low water mark to point number 1.
