And this aufr EEZ boundary has been defined since 1983, acc. to
http://www.ea.gov.au/coasts/mpa/heard/notice.html :
"The "EEZ" is the Exclusive Economic Zone declared in relation to
Australia and its external territories under the Seas and Submerged
Lands Act 1973 (proclamation dated 26 July 1994 published in the
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. S290 on 29 July 1994). It
commences at the outer limit of the territorial sea (12 nautical
miles from the territorial sea baselines established under the Seas
and Submerged Lands Act 1973) and extends generally to 200 nautical
miles from the baselines. In relation to Heard Island and McDonald
Islands it is in part less than 200 nautical miles to take account of
the treaty line defined by Article 2 of the Maritime Delimitation
Treaty agreed between the Government of Australia and the Government
of the French Republic in January 1982 (entry into force 10 January
1983). "
