Illustration for Crown Minerals Act 1991

This subpart is about rules that apply to you if you have a permit or licence. It applies to you if you hold a permit, or if you hold a licence. It also applies to you if you have to pay for decommissioning under subpart 2, which you can read about in the link to subpart 2. This subpart only applies to certain things, like petroleum infrastructure that was decommissioned after it started, or wells that were plugged and abandoned after it started. You need to follow these rules if you are one of the people this subpart applies to, and if you are dealing with one of these specific things.
