Public release of required information
382 Public release of required information
The holder of a mining tenement is taken to authorise the chief executive to do the following in relation to required information for the tenement—
to publish, in the way prescribed by regulation, the information for public use;
to make the information available to a person on payment of the fee prescribed by regulation.
Subsections (3) to (6) apply if a confidentiality period is prescribed by regulation for the required information.
Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the required information until the confidentiality period ends.
Subsection (5) applies if—
the required information is about an authorised activity carried out only in an area that stops being in the area of the mining tenement; and
immediately before the area stops being in the area of the mining tenement, the confidentiality period has not ended.
The confidentiality period ends when the area stops being in the area of the mining tenement.
Example—
The required information is a seismic survey carried out on particular land in the area of an exploration permit. The land has stopped being in the permit’s area under section 139. A confidentiality period for the required information ends when the land stops being in the permit’s area.
However, subsection (5) does not apply if—
the mining tenement is an exploration permit and, after the commencement of this subsection, the area stops being in the permit’s area under section 177; or
the mining tenement is a mineral development licence and, after the commencement of this subsection, the area stops being in the licence’s area under section 226A.
An authorisation under subsection (1) is not affected by the ending of the mining tenement.
