Crown Minerals Act 1991

Permits, access to land, and other matters - Decommissioning of petroleum infrastructure and wells

89C: Relationship between sections 42B and 42C, this subpart, and existing conditions of permits and licences

You could also call this:

"Following the rules: permits, licences, and new conditions"

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a permit or licence, you need to follow the rules in sections 42B and 42C, and this subpart. These rules are called the provisions. If these provisions say something different from the conditions on your permit or licence, the provisions win. You have to follow the provisions if they overlap with your permit or licence conditions. When the new rules started, your permit or licence automatically got a new condition that says the same thing as the provisions.

If you look at your permit or licence, you will see that it now includes the provisions from sections 42B and 42C, and this subpart. This means you must follow these rules, even if they are different from what your permit or licence said before. The provisions are now a part of your permit or licence, and you have to follow them.
