Crown Minerals Act 1991

Permits, access to land, and other matters - Permits, access to land, and title notations - Access to land

47: Permit does not give right of access to land

You could also call this:

"Having a permit doesn't mean you can enter private land without the owner's permission."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you get a permit under this Part, it does not mean you can automatically go onto someone's land. The permit does not give you the right to access any land, unless it says otherwise in section 49. You still need to get permission from the landowner to enter their land.
