2D: Consequences of change in status of permit

You could also call this:

"What happens when the Minister changes your permit's status"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If the Minister makes a decision under section 2C that changes the tier status of a permit, this section applies to you. The chief executive must tell the permit holder about the change in tier. You will be told when the change happens, and it will take effect either straight away or at the start of the next permit year, depending on the type of permit. If your permit is being changed from a Tier 2 to a Tier 3 permit, the change will happen on the day you are told about it. For other changes, the change will happen at the start of the next permit year after you are told about it.
