89ZZF: When enforceable undertaking is enforceable

You could also call this:

"When a promise to do something is accepted and becomes a rule you must follow."

Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

An enforceable undertaking is like a promise you make to do something. It takes effect and becomes enforceable when the chief executive or enforcement officer tells you they accept your promise, or at a later date they specify. You can find more information about this in the Crown Minerals Act 1991 and the Crown Minerals (Decommissioning and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021. When the chief executive or enforcement officer accepts your undertaking, they will let you know when it starts. This is how an enforceable undertaking becomes enforceable.
