Paper (50Kb PDF) Marine Parks outer boundariesNow the Marine Parks Act 2007 has been proclaimed, the next step is to release the outer boundaries of all 19 marine parks proposed for South Australia's coastal waters. Public comment will be sought on the marine park outer boundaries once released later in 2008. It should be noted that the announcement of the marine park outer boundaries will not include any zoning within the marine parks, and should therefore have no effect on the way people currently use the marine environment. The development of multiple use zoning within a marine park will not commence until local consultative forums have been established and engagement with local communities has occurred. For more information about zoning in marine parks please refer to our zoning for multiple use page. For more information about the marine parks development process and how you can be involved, please refer to our community involvement page.
