Mining Act 1971

Compensation under this Part is to be given in the form of monetary compensation.

However—

if, during negotiations under this Part, a person who may be entitled to compensation requests that the whole or part of the compensation be in a form other than money,¹ the other person who may be liable to pay compensation—

must consider the request; and

must negotiate in good faith on the subject; and

the ERD Court may, at the request of a person entitled to compensation, order non-monetary compensation.¹ Example1 The non-monetary compensation might take the form of a transfer of property or the provision of goods or services.
