Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006

This section applies if an application is made for approval of a dealing in so far as it relates to a particular title.

The Titles Administrator must:

approve the dealing; or

refuse to approve the dealing;

Section 503 limits the power conferred on the Titles Administrator by this section. Section 503 is about approval of a dealing that was entered into before the title came into existence.

In deciding whether to approve a dealing, the Titles Administrator:

must have regard to the matters (if any) prescribed by the regulations; and

may have regard to any other matters the Titles Administrator considers relevant.

The Titles Administrator must, by written notice given to the applicant, notify the applicant of the Titles Administrator’s decision.

If the Titles Administrator refuses to approve the dealing in so far as it relates to that title, the Titles Administrator must make a notation of the refusal in the relevant Register.
