General provisions relating to harbour master directions

26G. General provisions relating to harbour master directions



(1) A harbour master must not give any direction under section 26E that would
result in a contravention of any law relating to the State waters or vessel
concerned or that would impede the proper administration of the customs or
quarantine services within those waters.

(2) If a direction given by a harbour master under section 26E is inconsistent
with a direction given by the Director under paragraph 18C of Schedule 4, the
direction given by the Director prevails and the harbour master's direction
is, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no effect.
