Why has the Moreton Bay Marine Park boundary changed?
The zoning review established that the marine park boundary extended beyond Queensland coastal waters into Commonwealth waters to the north-west and south-east of Flinders Reef. The Commonwealth government requested the department to change the boundary to ensure the marine park extends to coastal waters only. The 16 percent figure for green zones within the park has not changed as the zone percentages in the new plan were calculated on the boundary excluding the Commonweatlh waters.
