Point Perpendicular - Temporary climbing ban 16-Sep-2013 At 3:44:52 PM Climb Point Perp

Message

I received an email from Defence today so here is the official word regards the closure.

I know someone will check so I saved you the effort and looked up by law 4 and pasted it at the bottom for reference.

From the email:-
From 29 September until 4 October, Navy will host a number of ships into Jervis Bay prior to the International Fleet Review commemorating the centenary of the RAN’s first fleet entering Sydney Harbour.

During this period access beyond Honeymoon Bay turn off will be restricted. To access the Lighthouse Area visitors will be required to park along OP Road and a shuttle bus will ferry visitors from OP road to the Lighthouse during the hours of 0800 until 1700. From 1700 until 0800 Lighthouse Rd will be closed to visitors from Honeymoon Bay turn off.

The following restrictions will apply during this period:

Rock climbing, abseiling and rock fishing will prohibited under By-Law 4 of the Defence (Public Areas) By-Laws 1987.

The by-law:-
DEFENCE (PUBLIC AREAS) BY-LAWS 1987 - REG 4
Erecting or placing of signs

A commanding officer may, by instrument in writing, approve the erecting or placing of signs at or near the entrances to a public area, a part of a public area, or a part of a naval, military or air force establishment, as the case requires, for the purpose of:

(a)
conveying directions to be followed by, warnings for the guidance of, or requirements to be observed by, persons using a public area;

(b)
designating part of a public area as a parking area; or

(c)
