He is to be prosecuted under the cat, dog, fruit bat, and vagrant Act, 1902, as amended as a summary offence, since repealed, but renamed as strict liability so it can be shoved off to Harbours and Marine because it involved a boat. The aircraft became a boat when it made contact with the water and it appears he was probably unlicensed to drive a boat into the water.

I hope this clears things up?
