I think we're clutching at straws here Titan. In this context, "may" == "is allowed to". I would take this as express approval from CASA, the regulator, to operate in such a manner. The only way they can beat you over the head with their penalty units under these clauses is if you fail to meet the requirements contained therein.
Also, there is, as far as I can see, no clause which specifically prohibits operation below 400 AGL within 3nm of an airfield.
