Concessions

17ZE: Transfers, subleases, and mortgages

You could also call this:

"Transferring or changing your concession: getting the Minister's okay"

If you have a concession, you might want to transfer, sublease, assign, mortgage, or dispose of it. You need to get the Minister's consent to do this if your concession document says you can. The Minister can refuse your application or give you consent with conditions. You can find more information about this in sections like sections 17P, 17S, 17T, 17U, 17W, 17X, 17ZB, and 17ZC. The Minister has the power to make decisions about your application in the public interest.
