General Licensing Information The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) is responsible for publishing the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s official zoning maps. GBRMPA is also the custodian of spatial data relevant to Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 and maintains an extensive and comprehensive collection of current reef and marine park spatial data covering the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park area. 2. Infringement of Copyright While GBRMPA wants to encourage the development and further use of GBRMPA spatial information, you must have GBRMPA’s written permission (a licence) before you can reproduce or publish any of GBRMPA 's spatial data. All GBRMPA publications and spatial data in whatever form or media are protected under the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. For example, under the provisions of the Act, the Commonwealth’s copyright will be infringed if any person or organisation reproduces or publishes GBRMPA spatial data without having GBRMPA written permission in advance. The Commonwealth’s copyright will also be infringed if any spatial data is imported or sold or distributed in Australia, where that spatial data would infringe copyright if it had actually been made in Australia. If you do anything which infringes the Commonwealth’s copyright you will have stolen the results of GBRMPA work and GBRMPA will take legal action. Under the Copyright Act the Commonwealth may have the right to obtain injunctions, and an account of profits or damages. You may also be required to hand over any infringing copies. Copyright will be infringed whether reproduction: Is by hand or by any mechanical or electronic means Is based directly or indirectly on the Commonwealth’s spatial data Is from a map or a document or an electronic file. Copyright will not be infringed when reproduction constitutes a 'fair dealing' for the purpose of research or private study, or for the purpose of criticism or review or for the purpose of reporting news. However, the 'fair dealing' provisions are strictly limited. Copyright will not be infringed when the reproduction is done for the purpose of a judicial proceeding or for a report of a judicial proceeding. The Copyright Act may permit you to make a backup copy necessary for safeguarding electronic data, as long as the copy is kept and used only for that purpose. 3. Legal Advice You should get your own legal advice to find out if any proposed project in relation to using GBRMPA spatial data will or may infringe Commonwealth copyright if it is done without permission. 4. Licence Terms and Conditions The Commonwealth has prepared standard terms and conditions for granting access to its spatial data. These terms and conditions control the way you may exploit the spatial data. Your licence will set out exactly how you may exploit GBRMPA spatial data. The licence will state what spatial data you will be allowed to use and how it must be treated. Our licences cannot be used by or transferred to anyone else. However, GBRMPA may give you permission to engage someone else to assist you in your work. Where your use of GBRMPA spatial data is intended to create a derived product that will assist navigation, GBRMPA will only allow you to use the officially published charts and documents produced by the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) for this purpose. If you do not comply with the terms and conditions it will result in the termination of your licence.
