Interaction between this Act and mining Acts
52 Interaction between this Act and mining Acts
A mining authority must not be granted or renewed under a mining
Act in respect of Trust Land except to a person who has permission to carry out mining operations or regulated activities on the Trust Land under this Part (however nothing in this section prevents the taking of any step under a mining
Act antecedent to the grant or renewal of a mining authority).
Before a mining authority is granted or renewed under a mining Act in relation to Trust Land, the Minister to whom the administration of the mining Act is committed must allow the Trust a reasonable opportunity to make submissions relating to the conditions subject to which the mining authority should be granted or renewed.
If a person has permission to carry out mining operations or regulated activities on Trust Land under this Part, the person and his or her agents, contractors and employees—
may, subject to any conditions of the permission and to the provisions of the relevant mining Act, enter the Trust Land for the purpose of carrying out such mining operations or regulated activities; and
despite a provision of the relevant mining Act, is not required to serve on the Trust a notice of entry.
In this section—
notice of entry means—
a notice of entry contemplated by section 58A of the
Mining Act 1971;
or
a notice of entry contemplated by section 32 of the
Opal Mining
Act 1995; or
a notice of entry contemplated by section 61 of the
Petroleum and Geothermal Energy
Act 2000, as the case requires.
