Drawing of plans: section 13
4 Drawing of plans: section 13
(Former clause 4 of 2007 Reg)
For the purposes of section 13 of the Act, a map or plan accompanying an application for an exploration licence or a special prospecting authority must—
delineate the alignment of the boundaries of the land to which it relates relative to the Graticular Reference Grid, and
describe the mapcode and blocks incorporated within the boundaries of the licence or authority.
Note.
Nothing in the Act or this Regulation requires the boundaries of an area that is intended to be comprised in a petroleum title to match or mirror the boundaries of 1 or more blocks.
A map or plan accompanying an application for an assessment lease or production lease must—
delineate the alignment of the boundaries of the land to which it relates relative to the Map Grid of Australia 1994 (MGA94), and
show the coordinates of all points where there is a change in the direction of the boundaries.
In addition, a map or plan accompanying an application for a petroleum title must—
be in electronic form and drawn to an appropriate standard scale to optimally display the area to which the petroleum title is intended to apply, or
if it is not possible for the map or plan to be in electronic form, be drawn on a standard topographic or cadastral map published by a State or Commonwealth Government Department, or
if it is not possible for the map or plan to be in electronic form or to be drawn on such a standard topographic or cadastral map, be drawn at a scale that the Secretary has approved in writing.
In this clause—
Graticular Reference Grid is defined in the NSW Block Identification Index Map 2016.
MGA94 means the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94), using the Map Grid of Australia 1994 (MGA94) standard map projection expressed in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection coordinates with zones 6 degrees wide.
Note.
Clauses 12 (1) and 13 impose the same requirements for maps and plans accompanying applications for partial renewal or partial cancellation of a petroleum title as those imposed by this clause.
Section 19 (5) of the Act has the effect that the requirements of this clause extend to applications for renewal of a petroleum title. Clause 12 (2) contains additional requirements for all applications for renewal.
