Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts This is how a block is
constituted in coastal waters —
(a)
assume that there is laid over the coastal waters a grid constituted by
—
(i)
lines running along meridians drawn through each degree
of longitude and the minutes between those degrees; and
(ii)
lines running along parallels drawn through each degree
of latitude and the minutes between those degrees;
(b) take
a bounded space defined by the grid;
(c) the
seabed and subsoil within the coastal waters that is under that space is a
block.
Note:
The following diagram
shows how a block is constituted.
Each block is
identified by giving the name of the plan in the 1:1 000 000 map series, an
identifying number of the 5 minute primary block and a letter identifying the
one minute block. The block in the diagram is 72 (e) on the Broome sheet.
