December 2019 updated map showing Australia's maritime jurisdiction in the Timor Sea, reflecting the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste treaty. One of 27 constituent maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series', it depicts continental shelf limits established under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973. The map is indicative only and should not be used as a definitive source, with some limits subject to change.
