Part 1—Preliminary
1—Short title
This policy may be cited as the Aquaculture (Zones—Streaky Bay) Policy 2011.
2—Interpretation
	(1)	In this policy, unless the contrary intention appears—
abalone means abalone (Haliotis spp.) of all species;
Act means the Aquaculture Act 2001;

lease means an aquaculture lease;
leased area, in an aquaculture zone, means the total area in the zone subject to 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.
	(3)	The point references given in a description identifying an aquaculture zone or aquaculture exclusion zone in Schedule 1 are references to the corresponding points in the map of that zone in Schedule 2.
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.
