Minister’s power to decide excluded land
46 Minister’s power to decide excluded land
The Minister may decide excluded land for a GHG permit or proposed GHG permit.
However, the power under subsection (1) may be exercised only when the Minister is deciding whether to—
grant or renew the GHG permit; or
approve any later work program for the GHG permit.
However, excluded land can not be a whole block.
Excluded land may be described in a way the Minister considers appropriate, including for example, by area or by reference to a stated type of land.
Land ceases to be excluded land for a GHG permit if—
the block in which the land is located is relinquished or for any other reason ceases to be in the permit’s area; or
a GHG lease is granted over any of the GHG permit’s area and the land is excluded land for the lease.
