Western Australian Numbered Acts Western Australian Numbered 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.
