Land Act 1994

A document creating a carbon abatement interest for land must not be registered without the consent of the following (each a relevant Minister)—

if the land is within a State forest, timber reserve or forest entitlement area—the Minister administering the Forestry Act 1959;

if the land is within a nature conservation area or specified national park—the Minister administering the Nature Conservation Act 1992;

if the land is unallocated State land, trust land, lease land or licence land—the Minister.

In deciding whether to consent to the registration of a carbon abatement interest, the relevant Minister must consider whether the land will, or is likely to, be used or dealt with in a way that is inconsistent with the proposed carbon abatement interest.

Consent by a relevant Minister under this section may be given subject to conditions.
