Conservation Act 1987

Concessions

17ZB: Accounts

You could also call this:

"Providing financial accounts to the Minister when you have a conservation concession"

If you have a concession to do something in a conservation area, the Minister can ask you to provide financial accounts. This is to help the Minister check that you are paying the right amount of rent, fees, or royalties. You will need to give the Minister a complete statement of your audited financial accounts and any other relevant information for the activity you are doing under the concession.

The Minister needs to receive your accounts no later than 3 months after the end of your financial year. This is so the Minister can check your accounts in a timely manner.

If you do not send your accounts to the Minister on time, you will be breaching your concession, which means you will not be following the rules of your concession.
