9 Making an application

(1) An application for compensation under this Part must:

(a) be in writing in a form approved or provided by the Board, and

(b) contain or be accompanied by such information and documents as are indicated or required by the form of application or as the Board requires, and

(c) be lodged with the Board within 3 months after the coal concerned was vested in the Crown under section 5A of the Acquisition Act in the case of an application under clause 6, or 30 June 1998 in the case of an application under clause 7.

(2) Despite subclause (1), the Board may if it thinks fit, accept and determine an application for compensation under clause 6 lodged more than 3 months after the coal concerned was vested in the Crown under section 5A of the Acquisition Act and may accept and determine an application for compensation under clause 7 lodged after 30 June 1998 but not after such later date as the Minister may determine and notify in the Gazette before 30 June 1998.
