The Macquarie Island Helicopter Exclusion Zone was created in January 2005 in consultation with Peter Cusick, Parks and Wildlife Service, Tasmania. The zone was created by buffering the coastline by 1 km on the seaward side of the island, generally following the escarpment on the interior of the island and buffering the refuges by 200 m to create an approximately 400 m wide corridor to the refuges. Access corridors were also created at the station. The Australian Antarctic Data Centre's topographic data representing coastline, escarpment and refuges was used. In March 2007 the zone was modifed in consultation with Terry Reid, Parks and Wildlife Service, Tasmania. The corridors to the refuges were extended through to the escarpment. The Helicopter Exclusion Zone is shown in a map of the island (see link below).
