This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Fast-track Approvals Bill

Fast-track approval approvals process for eligible projects - Decisions about referral of projects and process of referral - Application process

16A: Notice of request to grant right of access for proposed access arrangement

You could also call this:

“Telling people you want to use their land for a special project”

If you want to get approval for an access arrangement, you need to follow some rules. An access arrangement is a special kind of approval described in section 24C(3)(i) or (j) of this law.

Before you can ask for this approval, you have to do something important. You must follow the rules in section 59(1) and (2) of the Crown Minerals Act 1991. These rules tell you what you need to do before you can ask for permission to access land. Even though the Crown Minerals Act is about minerals, you need to follow these same rules for your access arrangement under this law.
