Overlapping lease application for part of the land
318ELBB Overlapping lease application for part of the land
This section applies if the overlapping permit holder applies for an overlapping lease for part of the land within the overlapping authority application period.
The person who made the mining lease application may amend it so that a mining lease is only sought for all or part of the rest of the land.
Unless the amendment is made, a further step can not be taken to decide the mining lease application until after the overlapping lease application has been decided.
If—
the amendment has not been made; and
the decision on the overlapping lease application is to grant an overlapping lease for part of the land;
the person who made the mining lease application may amend it so that a mining lease is only sought for all or part of the rest of the land.
Note—
If the mining lease application is not amended, see section 318ELBF (Application may be refused if no reasonable prospects of future geothermal or GHG coordination arrangement).
