vessels
 (1) There are limits in setting areas on aerobatics, motorised water sport and use of high‑speed vessels (see clauses 2.7 and 2.8).
 (2) The Authority will monitor the operation of vessels used for motorised water sport or at high speed to ensure that the vessels are being used legitimately, and that the vessels do not adversely affect other users of the Planning Area or the values of the Area.

1.30  No permissions for reef walking
  The Authority will not grant a permission for reef walking in the Planning Area.

Subdivision 5—Management of tourist programs

1.31  General
 (1) In order to protect the nature conservation, cultural and heritage values of the Planning Area it has been necessary to manage the number of tourist programs accessing the Planning Area.
 (2) A large number of different types of tourism operations are permitted to operate in the Planning Area. The Plan lists the types of tourism operations for which relevant permissions are granted. This approach requires clear definition of particular types of tourism operations (see clause 1.32), and has been adopted because tourism operations are more numerous, and cumulative in effect, than other uses in the Planning Area.
 (3) Generally, tourism operations involving aircraft or vessels are either standard tour operations or regional tour operations, depending on the approved level of access to the Planning Area (see clause 1.32).
 (4) Certain tourism operations have met specific criteria and are permitted to have access above the limits set out in Part 2. The level of access was determined by taking into account the levels of use of the Planning Area before the commencement of the Plan in 1998, and permission for the access was given on the basis of the specified criteria (which can be viewed in earlier versions of the Plan) being met.
Note: Earlier versions of this Plan can be found on the Federal Register of Legislation website at https://www.legislation.gov.au.
 (5) The level of access provided by a relevant permission is subject to assessment and the decision of the Authority in accordance with the Regulations.
