Exclusion zone
Due to the potential to affect the safety of navigation, Transport for NSW has granted an Exclusive Use Aquatic Licence to the APBA Offshore Council Inc. to conduct the event, and an Exclusion Zone (‘the Zone’) will be established on the navigable waters of Lake Macquarie upstream of an imaginary line between Rocky Point, Eleebana and Awaba Bay, Boughton Point (as per map) between the above times on the above dates.
The Zone will be marked by buoys and patrolled by control vessels.
Directions
Transport for NSW advises that in relation to the exclusion zone:
- Persons within the vicinity of the zone must comply with any directions given by any Boating Safety Officer or Police Officer in relation to the Special Event or to marine safety. Failure to comply with any such direction is an offence (Marine Safety Act 1998, s.15A - Maximum Penalty $3,300.00).
- No unauthorised vessels or persons are permitted to enter the zone and to do so may be an offence (Marine Safety Act 1998, s.12(5) — Maximum Penalty $1,100.00).
