Amendment of environmental (mining) licence or grant of environmental (mining) licence instead
124ZZU Amendment of environmental (mining) licence or grant of environmental (mining) licence instead
If the Minister approves the transfer of a modified condition licence or tailored condition licence, the Minister may, in accordance with section 124ZR and 124ZS, amend the licence by amending or removing any condition applying to the licence or by imposing a new condition.
If the Minister considers the conditions of a standard condition licence to be transferred should be amended, the Minister may grant a modified condition licence or tailored condition licence to the transferee in place of the transfer of the standard condition licence.
An amendment or grant of an environmental (mining) licence under this section may be made on the Minister's own initiative or at the request of the transferee.
In deciding whether or not to amend an environmental (mining) licence or grant a modified condition licence or tailored condition licence under this section, the Minister must be satisfied that:
the environmental impacts associated with the mining activity will be managed; and
the amendments to the environmental (mining) licence or the grant of the environmental (mining) licence will not undermine the objects of the Act.
If the Minister amends an environmental (mining) licence or grants a modified condition licence or tailored condition licence under this section, the obligations agreed to under section 124ZZO continue and extend to the amended environmental (mining) licence or the modified condition licence or tailored condition licence.
If the Minister grants a modified condition licence or tailored condition licence in place of a standard condition licence under this section, the standard condition licence is revoked.
