Jervis Bay Territory, Federal territory near Australian Capital Territory, Australia
The Jervis Bay Territory encompasses 67.8 square kilometers of land alongside the southeastern coast of Australia, containing protected marine parks and reserves.
The territory gained federal status in 1915 when the Australian government determined the capital required access to a maritime port for naval operations.
The Yuin people maintain their connection to the region, managing Booderee National Park, which represents their ancestral lands and traditional fishing grounds.
The Department of Infrastructure oversees the territory's administration, with services distributed between Australian Capital Territory agencies and Shoalhaven City Council.
Within the territory, residents cast their federal election votes for the Division of Fenner despite having no representation in state or local government.
