2.9.1 Location of Commonwealth Islands Zone

  The Commonwealth Islands Zone consists of the areas described in Part 8 of Schedule 1.

Note 1   The Commonwealth Islands Zone is that area of the Amalgamated Great Barrier Reef Section that is above the low water mark, other than an island, or a part of an island, that forms part of Queensland and is not owned by the Commonwealth — see section 1.7. The location of the Commonwealth Islands Zone may not be indicated on the zoning maps.

Note 2   An area that is a part of the Commonwealth Islands Zone is not included as a part of another zone — see subsection 1.6 (5).

2.9.2 Objectives for Commonwealth Islands Zone

  The objectives of this Zoning Plan for the Commonwealth Islands Zone are:
 (a) to provide for the conservation of areas of the Marine Park above the low water mark; and
 (b) to provide for use of the zone by the Commonwealth; and
 (c) subject to the objective mentioned in paragraph (a), to provide for facilities and uses consistent with the values of the area.

2.9.3 Use or entry without permission

Note   If a provision of this Zoning Plan has the effect that an activity in an area requires permission, and another provision of the plan would have the effect that the same activity in that area does not require permission, the provision to the effect that the activity requires permission prevails — see subsection 3A (2) of the Act.

 (a) low impact activities, including low impact recreational activities, that do not involve the taking of plants, animals or marine products;

 (i) an accredited traditional use of marine resources agreement; and
 (ii) any requirements relating to the operation of that agreement prescribed in the Regulations;
 (c) photography, filming or sound recording;
 (d) conducting a limited educational program;
 (e) navigating a vessel or aircraft (except a managed vessel or aircraft) if any equipment that is normally used for fishing or collecting is stowed or secured when the vessel or aircraft is in a part of the zone in which the use of the equipment is not permitted.
