Schedule 1—Map

Part 1—Preliminary
1—Short title
This policy may be cited as the Aquaculture (Zones—Smoky Bay) Policy 2007.
2—Interpretation
	(1)	In this policy—
Act means the Aquaculture Act 2001;
bivalve molluscs includes clams, cockles, mussels, oysters, pipis and scallops;
leased area means an area subject to an aquaculture lease;
licence means an aquaculture licence.
	(2)	For the purposes of identification of zones in this policy, unless the contrary intention appears, all lines are geodesics based on the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) as defined in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette GN35 of 6 September 1995 and all co‑ordinates are expressed in terms of GDA94.
Note—
Unless the contrary intention appears, terms used in this policy that are defined in the Act have the respective meanings assigned to those terms by the Act.
3—Object of policy
Pursuant to section 11 of the Act, this policy—
	(a)	identifies aquaculture zones, an aquaculture exclusion zone and an aquaculture emergency zone; and
	(b)	specifies—
	(i)	for an aquaculture zone—the classes of aquaculture permitted in the zone; and
	(ii)	for an aquaculture emergency zone—the class of aquaculture operations for emergency relocation in the zone; and
	(c)	specifies prescribed criteria to be taken into account in the determination of applications for licences or in the making of other decisions under the Act in relation to particular zones.
4—Prescription of criteria does not limit matters that may be taken into account
