Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004 INFORMATION SHEET

HINCHINBROOK MAPS The Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) released the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004 (the Plan) on 15 April 2004. The Plan is designed to protect the outstanding natural values of the Hinchinbrook region and to provide for the long-term sustainable use of this world famous area.

The Plan applies only to Commonwealth waters, which do not include the Hinchinbrook Channel. The Parks and Wildlife Service is currently finalising a complementary management plan that will cover waters within the State Marine Park such as the Hinchinbrook Channel and intertidal waters.

This information sheet provides a set of colour maps. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the relevant aspects of the Plan that relate to your activities or style of operation. This may be done by referring to the Plan or one of the specific information sheets listed below:

• Aircraft operators (recreational and commercial pilots) • Cruise ship operators • Boutique cruise operators • Bareboat and hire operators • Passenger transport and support service operators • Guided tour operators (vessels less than 6 metres) • Motorised water sports • General tourism operators

On the following pages you will find: • A map of the Hinchinbrook Planning Area showing designated Locations and the management setting at each Location. This map also indicates the location of significant bird sites and the cruise ship anchorages. • An inset taken from the first map, of the Family Islands which displays Locations, management settings and significant bird sites. • A detailed map of the Brook Islands, depicting the no-anchoring area and significant bird sites. • A map of the Hinchinbrook Planning Area, showing all sensitive locations.

Further Information The Plan and information sheets can be downloaded free from the GBRMPA web site at www.gbrmpa.gov.au. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of the Plan ($10 charge will apply) or any information sheet (no charge) by contacting:
