Coastal Waters (State Title) Act 1980
No. 77, 1980
An Act to vest in each of the States proprietary rights and title in respect of certain land beneath the coastal waters adjacent to the State and within the sovereignty of the Commonwealth
[Assented to 29 May 1980]
The Parliament of Australia enacts:
1 Short title This Act may be cited as the Coastal Waters (State Title) Act 1980.
2 Commencement This Act shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by Proclamation.
3 Interpretation (1) In this Act: authority of the Commonwealth includes all authorities and bodies (other than companies or societies) established by or appointed under the laws of the Commonwealth and also includes a company in which the whole of the shares or stock, or shares or stock carrying more than half of the voting power, is or are owned by or on behalf of the Commonwealth, but does not include the Northern Territory. coastal waters of the State, in relation to a State, has the same meaning as that expression has in the Coastal Waters (State Powers) Act 1980 and coastal waters of a State has a corresponding meaning. (2) In this Act, so far as the context admits: (a) a reference to a State shall be read as a reference to the Crown in right of the State; and (b) a reference to the sea‑bed beneath the coastal waters of a State shall be read as including a reference to the subsoil (including all minerals) beneath that sea‑bed and to structures or other things attached to that sea‑bed.
