41CX Restrictions under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 on entry onto land etc
To avoid doubt, a reference to “the Atomic Energy Act 1953 or any other Act authorizing mining for minerals” in Part IV of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (as that Act applies in relation to the Ranger Project Area) includes a reference to this Act:
whether or not a Part III authority is in force under this Act; and
if a Part III authority is in force under this Act—whether or not the authority authorizes the carrying on of mining‑related operations in relation to the whole, or a part, of the land in the Ranger Project Area.
The version of Part IV of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 that applies in relation to the Ranger Project Area is the version in force immediately before the commencement of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Amendment Act (No. 3) 1987: see section 8 of that amendment Act.
