Jervis Bay Territory
The Jervis Bay Territory () is an internal territory of Australia. It was established in 1915 from part of New South Wales, in order to enable the landlocked Australian Capital Territory (ACT) access to the sea.It was administered by the Department of the Interior (and later by the Department of the Capital Territory) as if it were part of the ACT, although it has always been a separate Commonwealth territory. The perception that it is part of the ACT stems from the fact that under the terms of the Jervis Bay Territory Acceptance Act, the laws of the ACT apply to the Jervis Bay Territory.
In 1989, when the ACT achieved self-government, the Department of the Arts, Sport, the Environment, Tourism and Territories took over responsibility for the JBT's administration, and it has since been administered by various Commonwealth departments responsible for territories.
