Land Act 1958

The Minister may grant a licence over land specified in section 143(1) on receiving an application under section 141(1).

The term of a bee site licence must not exceed 10 years.

The boundary of a bee site licence area may extend further than an 800-metre radius from the centre of the bee site licence area if—

immediately before the commencement of section 16 of the Crown Land Legislation Amendment (Canadian Regional Park and Other Matters) Act 2016—

a person held a licence or permit for the purpose of keeping hives or farming bees (the original licence) in respect of more or less the same licence or permit area as that bee site licence area; and

the area of land to which the original licence applied extended further than a radius of 800 metres from the centre of that original licence area; and

the bee site licence is granted to—

the person referred to in paragraph (a)(i); or

a person to whom a bee site licence or a saved licence for that bee site licence area is or has been transferred.

In subsection (4)(b)(ii), saved licence means—

a transitioned licence within the meaning of section 417; or

a licence or permit saved by any of the following—

section 17I of the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978;

section 104 of the Forests Act 1958;

clause 26 of Schedule One AA to the National Parks Act 1975;

section 106 of the Wildlife Act 1975.

The Minister, at any time, may impose, vary or revoke any terms and conditions on a bee site licence as the Minister thinks fit.

Before granting a bee site licence over land specified in section 143(1)(b), (c), (d) or (e), the Minister must obtain the consent of the Minister responsible for the Act under which that land is controlled and managed.
