Abstract

This Law, consisting of five sections establishes the following: section 3 (a) the provisions of the laws of Tasmania; (i) have effect in and in relation to the coastal waters of Tasmania; and; (ii) apply to and in relation to any act done or omitted to be done at any place within those waters; and; (b) any reference in any written law of Tasmania to "the State", "Tasmania", or any other similar reference shall be read as including a reference to the coastal waters of Tasmania. Where any written law of Tasmania is in force with respect to sea fisheries or with respect to any activity relating to any such fisheries, that law, unless the contrary intention appears therein, has effect with respect to and applies to fisheries located or partly located either within or beyond the outer limits of those coastal waters or, as the case may be, with respect to any activity relating to those last-mentioned fisheries, to the extent that that law is not inconsistent with any law of the Commonwealth or with any arrangement to which the Commonwealth and this State are parties, being an arrangement authorized by a law of Tasmania.
