Effect of territorial sea baseline changes on pipeline licence
5 Effect of territorial sea baseline changes on pipeline licence
This section applies if—
a pipeline licence has been granted under this Act on the basis that an area is within the adjacent area; and
the territorial sea baseline is changed, or because new data is obtained or existing data is reconsidered, the location of the baseline is reassessed; and
because of the change or reassessment, the area—
is no longer within the adjacent area; and
falls within the Commonwealth offshore area for a State or the Northern Territory.
While the pipeline licence is in force, this Act applies to the area so far as the pipeline licence is concerned as if the area were within the adjacent area.
Editor’s note—
Under the provisions of the Commonwealth Act, that Act does not apply to the area after the change or reassessment.
In subsection (1)—
territorial sea baseline has the meaning given under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 (Cwlth) by proclamation in gazette No. S29 (Cwlth) of 9 February 1983 at pages 2 to 14.
