42B: Field development plans to be submitted to chief executive

You could also call this:

"Send your petroleum field development plan to the chief executive when asked"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a petroleum mining permit or licence, you must give the chief executive a field development plan. You do this at certain times, like when you are asked to, or when specific events happen. The chief executive or the Minister can ask you for the plan at any time, and you must give it to them within a reasonable time frame.

You need to make sure your field development plan has all the necessary information. This includes what you plan to do with the field over time, and it must be accurate and up to date. Your plan must also have any other information that is required, and it must meet any other rules that apply.

The plan is like a roadmap for how you will develop the field, and it helps the chief executive and the Minister understand what you intend to do. You can find more information about the rules for field development plans in the Crown Minerals Act 1991 and the Crown Minerals (Decommissioning and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021.
