91: Chief executive to keep registers

You could also call this:

"The government keeps a list of special permissions called permits and makes some information available online."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

The chief executive has to keep a record of all permits. You can think of a permit like a special permission to do something. The record must include the names and contact details of the people involved in the permit, and any changes that are made to it.

The chief executive must also make sure that certain information is available for you to see on a website. This information includes a copy of every permit, the record of permits, and any other important documents.

The chief executive can keep other records as well, if they think it is necessary. If the chief executive says something is true about a record, you can usually believe it, unless someone can prove it is not true.

If the chief executive writes a certificate saying someone does not have a permit, you can usually believe that too, unless someone can prove it is not true.
