Please note: having any equipment that may be used for fishing or anchoring deployed over the side of a vessel in the CPZ is considered to be a fishing or anchoring operation (whether or not such equipment is fully deployed). Patrols and penaltiesįishing and anchoring are illegal within the Cook Strait CPZ for any vessel of any size. We provide education, signage and other campaigns to help raise awareness about the CPZ. Hooking a cable with an anchor or fishing gear can damage a cable to an extent that requires costly repairs. Simply catching a cable with a fish hook can damage the protective outer layer. Protecting our cables is also important as it can take many millions of dollars and many months to repair. The CPZ is in place to ensure this critical piece of national infrastructure is kept safe. These cables are vital to New Zealand’s electricity and communications systems, and to our economy. The safest thing to do is to record your position, abandon your gear, and contact us immediately on 0800 THE GRID (08). If you suspect you have snagged your anchor or fishing equipment on a cable, don't try to free it. The map contains CPZ coordinates.

The Sunshine Coast submarine cable project well and truly marks us as Australia’s healthy, smart, creative region. We expect to attract the attention of the world’s biggest data users and those looking for a location with superior telecommunications and data infrastructure.įor the local community, the project will, over time, lead to faster, more affordable broadband access and stimulate investment that will create hundreds of new jobs. The cable will put the Sunshine Coast on the international business map as a leading investment destination for commerce and industry. This connectivity will give major data-intensive companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft the opportunity to revisit the benefits of where they locate their Australian investments. This will provide business with a range of new opportunities that come with increased speed and diversity. Queensland businesses will, for the first time, be able to bypass Sydney and connect direct internationally. Ultimately, the cable means more jobs and more business in our local economy - at a time when it's needed most. The Sunshine Coast cable project is forecast to deliver up to 864 new jobs and stimulate $927 million in new investment in Queensland. This vital piece of infrastructure has the capacity to cater for four submarine cables and house 24 data cabinets. The cable landing station houses the connection point for the international submarine cable with landside communication networks. The cable which is laid out or buried under the sea floor, connects to the cable landing station adjacent to the new Maroochydore City Centre. The project includes the installation of a 550km undersea fibre optic cable which connects the Sunshine Coast to the 7000km Japan-Guam-Australia South (JGA-S) submarine cable. About the projectĬouncil has facilitated the landing of a new international submarine cable to Maroochydore following an international submarine cable contract agreed between Sunshine Coast Council and RTI Connectivity Pty Ltd (RTI-C). The cable will help to future proof the Sunshine Coast telecommunications capacity and increase our smart city capability, ensuring access to important data networks. The project will help stimulate local business, generate new investment and improve telecommunications diversity to Australia’s east coast. Now that the network is operational, the Sunshine Coast provides the fastest international connection point from Queensland and east Australia to Asia, a significant step-change in the Sunshine Coast's attractiveness as an investment location. Queensland’s first direct international data and telecommunications connection to global markets is now in service.
