Mining Regulation 2016

(Former clause 74A of 2010 Reg)

The Secretary is nominated as the collection agency for the purposes of section 266 of the Act.

All the functions of the collection agency may be delegated by the collection agency to Service NSW as customer service functions.

Standard compensation is to be paid to the collection agency in cash or in any other manner that is approved by the collection agency.

The collection agency must pay standard compensation collected on behalf of a landholder to the landholder as reasonably directed by the landholder.

The notice under section 266 (4) (b) of the Act must be sent by mail to the landholder.

The Secretary may rely on such evidence as the Secretary sees fit to be satisfied of a matter under section 266 (4) of the Act. However, the following evidence is taken to be sufficient for the purposes of that subsection—

for evidence that an applicant for a small-scale title and a landholder have entered into a compensation agreement—a document signed by the landholder that identifies the small-scale title and makes it clear that an agreement has been entered into which excludes the need to pay standard compensation,

for evidence that a notice has been sent in the mail to a landholder—a delivery receipt (such as a registered post receipt or a receipt from a courier) showing delivery to the landholder or to the postal address of the landholder.
