If the regulations prescribe modifications of this Act for its application in relation to all or part of any one or more of the following areas:

(a) all the waters of the sea on the landward side of the outer limits of the territorial sea of Australia, including:

(i) such waters within the limits of a State or Territory; and

(ii) the airspace over, and the seabed and sub‑soil beneath, such waters;

(b) the Territory of Christmas Island;

(c) the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands;

then this Act has effect as so modified in relation to any such area or part.

Note: This Act would, in the absence of any such regulations, apply in relation to these areas in the same way as it applies in relation to the rest of Australia.
