Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a permit to enter land under section 49, you must follow the rules in that section. If you do this and someone still stops you from entering the land, you can ask the District Court for help. You can apply for an order that lets you or someone else with the same rights enter the land as allowed under section 49.
