Mineral Resources Act 1989

This section applies to mining leases 70434, 70435, 70436 and 700058.

On the commencement, each mining lease is varied to include the following conditions—

from the commencement, the holder must accommodate all workers either—

in Glenden; or

on the area of ML700066 in compliance with the conditions mentioned in section 334ZJN(4)(a) to (c);

for the condition mentioned in paragraph (a)—

at least 30% of the workers accommodated in Glenden must be accommodated in a residential dwelling; and

if subparagraph (i) is satisfied and the number of rostered workers is insufficient to enable the condition to be satisfied—the condition is taken to be satisfied if all rostered workers are accommodated in Glenden.

The conditions under subsection (2) apply—

despite section 234(1); and

in addition to any existing conditions of each mining lease.

This Act applies to the variation of each mining lease under subsection (2) as if the variation had been made by the Minister under section 294(1) on the day of the commencement.

However, the conditions mentioned in subsection (2) can not be varied under section 294.
