Other use

 (8) In relation to aircraft, it is the Authority's intention that a person will not land in, take off from or taxi an aircraft in:
 (a) a Location; or
 (b) the Hinchinbrook Island Dugong Protection Area (see Map 3 in Schedule 8).

 (9) The Authority recognises that commercial shipping that involves the operation of trading vessels is a valid use of the Planning Area and intends that it be allowed to continue.

 (10) Vessels over 20 metres in length will not be permitted to operate in, or transit through, the Missionary Bay Location.

Note   Vessels over 20 metres in length may use transit lanes which are not part of the Missionary Bay Location: see item 10 of Schedule 2.

 (11) Other strategies relating to use of the Planning Area, such as those outlined in clauses 1.10, 1.14, 1.18, 1.22 and 1.26, apply to all users of the Planning Area.

 (12) The Authority intends that, given current levels of recreational use of the Planning Area, group size limits will only apply to tourism operations.

Note   In a Location, the limit on vessel length is 35 metres, which applies to recreational users as well as tourism operators.

INTENSIVE USE SETTING

Immediately adjacent to resorts. Locations in intensive use settings are the access points to the parks and may be a focus for intensive tourism and recreation use. Expect these Locations to be heavily used by a wide range of craft, and to contain permanent facilities (for example, jetties and boat ramps).

Conservation values                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Although these are intensively used and developed Locations, they often contain elements of high conservation and cultural value which require protection through intensive management.

Recreation values                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Natural harbours or protected anchorages favoured for beach hire, motorised water sports and transfer passengers. Emphasis on access and resort style recreation and tourism.

Management intent                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    These Locations will require detailed assessment of individual development proposals to protect the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area values and may require additional site planning to determine appropriate use patterns eg moorings placement, segregated swimming and boating areas. Site plans may be developed as required.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Note   Site management plans for specific sites adjacent to the marine parks (eg the Port of Lucinda) may be developed by the relevant management agency (eg Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service) in consultation with other stakeholders.

Use levels                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Maximum number of people per operation (including crew) — no limit on group size. Maximum vessel length — 35 metres, except crewed large vessel operations in the
