of this plan, or subsequent title in the same area.
Note: Exploration permits granted under the OPGGS Act prior to the commencement of this management plan may progress to a retention lease or production licence. Activities associated with those subsequent titles (or a relevant short-term title such as an AA or SIC) will be allowable inside Zeehan Marine Park as an existing petroleum title, where they are to be conducted within the original title area.
Note: Proposed mining operations carried out under usage rights that existed immediately before the declaration of a marine park do not require approval from the Director.
Note: Transit by mining vessels will be managed in accordance with Section 4.3.1 (General use, access and waste management). Anchoring is allowed as part of activities authorised under this section (4.3.8).
Note: Scientific research and environmental monitoring in connection with a particular mining operation may be carried out in all zones in accordance with Section 4.3.12 (Research and monitoring).
Note: For the avoidance of doubt, research and monitoring does not include activities or operations for the purpose of prospecting or exploration for minerals.
