Minerals programmes

19: Issue of minerals programmes

You could also call this:

"The Governor-General can create or change a minerals programme with the Minister's advice."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

The Governor-General can issue a minerals programme or change to a programme by Order in Council. You need to know that this happens on the recommendation of the Minister. The Minister must follow the requirements of sections 15 to 18 before making a recommendation. When the Governor-General makes an order, it is secondary legislation, which means it has to be published in a certain way, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. However, this type of order does not have to be drafted by the PCO, even though section 67(d)(i) of that Act usually says it should be. The order is made by the Governor-General, and you can find more information about how it is published.
