99K: Right to object to amendment or default assessment

You could also call this:

"Objecting to changes or default assessments: your right to have your say"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you are a permit holder, you can object to an amendment or a default assessment under section 99I. You must write to the chief executive and they must get your letter within 40 working days of you being told about the amendment or default assessment, as stated in section 99I(3). You need to explain why you are objecting.

The chief executive will then listen to what you have to say and make a decision on your objection within 40 working days of getting your letter. They will either dismiss your objection or agree with it, either fully or partly.

After the chief executive makes a decision, they will send you a copy of their decision, including why they made it, within 20 working days. They will also send you any updated royalty return or default assessment and tell you about your right to appeal, as outlined in section 99L.
