89ZD: Asset registers to be submitted to chief executive

You could also call this:

"You must give the chief executive a list of things to clean up when you're done with a permit or licence."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

If you have a permit or licence, you must give the chief executive an asset register. You do this at set times, when certain events happen, or when the Minister asks you to. The asset register is a list of things you must decommission, like petroleum infrastructure and wells, as stated in sections 89J, 89K, 89R, and 89S. You must make sure the register is complete and accurate, and includes any other information required, and meets any other requirements.
