Mineral Resources Act 1989

This section applies if the Minister, the Land Court, the tribunal, an authorised officer or another person (each a sending entity) is—

required or permitted to give a document to a person; or

required to serve a document on a person.

However, this section does not apply for giving a document to which section 399 or chapter 11, part 3, division 9 applies.

The sending entity gives the document to the person, or serves the document on the person, if—

the document is served personally on the person; or

the document is left at the person’s address for service or other last known address; or

the document is sent by registered post to the person’s address for service or other last known address; or

if the sending entity is the Minister or an authorised officer—the document is sent to an email address that the person gave the Minister, chief executive or authorised officer.

If a person’s address for service is the name and address of someone else (the nominated person), the document is taken to be given to, or served on, the person if it is given to, or served on, the nominated person under subsection (3).

This section does not limit the Electronic Transactions (Queensland) Act 2001.

In this section—

a direction;

a notice;

an order;

information.

if an address for the person is recorded in the register—the address recorded in the register; or

otherwise—the place of residence or business of the person last known to the sending entity giving a document to, or serving a document on, the person.
