Conservation Act 1987

Concessions

17SC: Public notification of application for leases, licences, permits, or easements

You could also call this:

"Telling the public about applications for leases, licences, permits, or easements"

When you want to get a lease, licence, permit, or easement, the Minister has to tell the public about your application if it is for a lease or a licence that lasts more than 10 years. The Minister can also choose to tell the public about other licence applications if they think it is a good idea. They can do the same for permit or easement applications if they think it is appropriate.

The Minister considers the effects of the licence, permit, or easement when deciding whether to notify the public. You can find more information about what the Minister considers by looking at the rules for applying, such as what is said in section 17R(2).

There are some cases where the Minister does not have to tell the public about your application, such as if your application does not comply with the rules, like those in section 17R(2), or if it is returned under section 17SA or 17SD, or declined under section 17SB.
