Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

The chief executive or an enforcement officer can accept a promise from you to do something if you have broken or might have broken a rule in the Crown Minerals Act 1991. You make this promise in writing and it is called an enforceable undertaking. If you give an enforceable undertaking, it does not mean you are saying you are guilty of breaking the rule. You can give an enforceable undertaking in connection with something you did or might have done that relates to the Crown Minerals Act 1991 or its regulations. The chief executive or an enforcement officer can accept your enforceable undertaking and this undertaking is about a specific matter relating to the Act or regulations.
