50  Simplified outline

  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

         • A carrier may apply to the ACA to install a submarine cable:

                (a) in a protection zone; or
                (b) in Australian waters (other than Australian waters that are in a protection zone or that are coastal waters).

         • There is a streamlined process for applications for permits to install submarine cables in protection zones. Also, a carrier who installs a submarine cable in a protection zone in accordance with a permit is exempt from certain State and Territory laws.
         • It is an offence for a person to install a submarine cable without a permit in a protection zone, or in Australian waters that are not in a protection zone and that are not coastal waters.
         • It is also an offence for a person who holds a permit to breach a condition of the permit.
