Subject to Sections 4.2.9.3 and 4.2.9.4, an authorisation may be issued for excavations (including dredging), erection of structures, works and maintenance, and associated activities (including disposal of dredged material), other than in relation to fish aggregating devices, in the Coral Sea Marine Park where the action is necessary for:
 1. maritime or visitor safety, including aiding navigation; or
 2. maintaining the values of the Coral Sea Marine Park; or
 3. research and monitoring; or
 4. critical infrastructure in the national interest; or
 5. commercial tourism; and
 6. it is not practicable for the action to be taken outside the zone.
