These boundaries include (in full and/or in part): (a) the Northern Territory; (b) the areas of Queensland and Western Australia that are North of the Tropic of Capricorn other than the Meekatharra Statistical Area level 2; (c) the areas South of the Tropic of Capricorn of each Statistical Area level 2 that has an area covered by paragraph (b); (d) the following Statistical Areas level 2: (i) Gladstone; (ii) Gladstone Hinterland; (iii) Carnarvon; (e) the Local Government Areas of Meekatharra and Wiluna; (ea) the Local Government Area of Ngaanyatjarraku; (f) the territorial sea adjacent to areas covered by paragraphs (a) to (d). The definition of these boundaries is updated from time to time as new data becomes available.
