in the Planning Area on more than 50 days per year.

 (4) The Authority will identify an individual tourism operation on the basis of the primary vessel or aircraft that is used for the operation. The operation of a vessel or aircraft across multiple permissions is not a legitimate basis for exceeding the limit (eg a limit of 50 days access to the Planning Area per year) that is intended to apply to the tourism operation. The Authority will manage the permit and booking systems to ensure that the intended limits are not undermined.

1.50 Conversion between tourism operations

  The Authority must not convert a relevant permission that has been granted for the purposes of any of the following tourism operations to a permission for any other type of operation (whether or not specified in the following list), and must not convert a permission for any other type of operation to a permission for an operation that is listed:
 (a) long range roving operations;
 (b) non‑motorised craft operations;
 (c) hire operations;
 (d) craftless operations;
 (e) support service operations;
 (f) regional tour operations operating predominantly from the Cooktown/Bloomfield area.

1.51 Further permissions

  The Authority intends that if:
 (a) a relevant permission (the original permission) was granted giving access rights for a tourist program; and
 (b) the access rights were different to the access right restrictions set out in Part 2;
then, when a further permission is granted in respect of the original permission, the access rights may remain the same.

Note 1   Information about the way tourism permissions are managed can be found in the document published by the Authority and entitled Managing Tourism Permissions to Operate in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Including Allocation, Latency and Tenure). The document may be accessed on the Authority's website at http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au.

Note 2   The Regulations provide for:
(a) when a relevant permission ceases to be in force for the purposes of applications for further permissions; and
(b) transfers of permissions.
