PROCLAMATION
I, WILLIAM GEORGE HAYDEN, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council and under section 10B of the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 and section 4 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, declare that, commencing on 1 August 1994:
(a) subject to paragraph (b), the outer limits of Australia’s exclusive economic zone comprise:
(i) the lines that are 200 international nautical miles seaward of the baselines determined by Proclamation under section 7 of the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 for areas of Australia other than its external Territories; and
(ii) in relation to the external Territories, the lines that are 200 international nautical miles seaward of the baselines established under international law; and
(b) where any part of a line specified in the Schedule is less than 200 international nautical miles seaward of the relevant baselines referred to in paragraph (a), that part of the line so specified forms part of the outer limits of that zone; and
(c) for the purposes of items 1, 4 (other than paragraph (a)) and 7 in the Schedule:
(i) all geographic coordinates are expressed in terms of the World Geodetic System 1972 (“WGS 72”); and
(ii) determination of the position on the surface of the Earth of a point or line is to be by reference to WGS 72, that is, by reference to a spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,135 metres and a flattening of 100/29826; and
(d) for the purposes of items 2 and 3, and paragraph 4 (a), in the Schedule:
(i) all geographic coordinates are expressed in terms of the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (“AGD66”); and
(ii) determination of the position on the surface of the Earth of a point or line is to be by reference to AGD66, that is, by reference:
(A) to a spheroid having its centre at the centre of the Earth and a major (equatorial) radius of 6,378,160 metres and a flattening of 100/29825; and
(B) to the Johnston Geodetic Station in the Northern Territory which station is taken to be situated at Latitude 25°56´54.5515˝ South and Longitude 133°12´30.0771˝ East and to have a ground level of 571.2 metres above the spheroid; and
(e) for the purposes of items 5, 6 and 8 in the Schedule, all geographic coordinates are expressed in terms of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000, as defined by the International Earth Rotation Service at epoch 1 January 2000.
