Period of effect of particular later development plans
128B Period of effect of particular later development plans
This section applies if—
before the commencement of this section, the holder of a petroleum lease was given, under section 53G, a notice (the notice) of the approval of a proposed later development plan for the lease; and
the notice was given to the holder of the lease after the start of the plan period for the proposed plan as stated in the proposed plan.
For an Act, the approval has effect, and is taken to have had effect, from—
the start of the plan period; or
if the notice stated a later day of effect—the later day.
The notice is, and is taken always to have been, valid and effective—
even though the notice was given after the commencement of the plan period stated for the proposed plan; and
whether or not the notice purported, expressly or impliedly, to approve the carrying out of work under the plan before the approval was given; and
regardless of the extent to which section 53E(2)(e) was complied with.
Example for paragraph (c)—
It does not matter if a development plan was considered under section 53E(2)(e) but was not current at the time of its consideration.
This section applies despite part 6, division 2.
