Parts of sea-bed occupied by Commonwealth and Commonwealth Authorities
5. (1) In relation to a part of the sea-bed that was, immediately before the
commencement of this Act, occupied by, or by structures, installations or
other property of, the Commonwealth or an authority of the Commonwealth,
sub-sections 4 (1) and (2) do not take effect upon commencement of this Act
but take effect upon such date, if any, as is fixed by the Minister, by notice
in the Gazette, as the date on which those sub-sections are to take effect in
