56: Provisions relating to access arrangements

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you own or occupy land and you agree to an access arrangement, you must follow it. The arrangement also applies to anyone who later owns or occupies the land, as long as the requirements of section 83 are met. This means that even if the land is sold or passed on to someone else, the access arrangement still stands.
