Zoning maps
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park zoning maps are tools to help you get to know the zones in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Great Barrier Reef Coast Marine Park. You can avoid fines if you get to know the zones and what is allowed there.
The zoning map series is currently moving to a revised layout, making it easier for people visiting and using the Marine Parks. Following consultation the individual areas covered by the new maps has changed in some areas.
It is important to note that zoning has not changed in any way. The transition process will simply take place as stocks of current zoning maps run low.
New maps covering from the northern Marine Park boundary south to around Bowen are now in circulation.
Below are two key maps. The first, will give you access to all maps from MPZ10 Whitsundays, south to MPZ18 Bundaberg. The second map will give you access to Map 1 Cape York south to Map 8 Cape Upstart. Click on the map number to access a .pdf version.
Alternatively you can use the interactive mapping tool available from the home page where you can generate maps for specific areas.
You can also access four overview maps (scale 1:1,000,000) and the Lizard Island Special Edition (scale 1:100,000) map.
