21C Application to vary licence area
(1) An application under section 21A for the Minister to vary the licence
area made after construction of the pipeline had been completed
shall be accompanied by:
(a) details of the proposed variation describing the area it is
proposed should remain subject to the licence; and
(b) the fee prescribed by regulation.
(2) The Minister shall not vary a licence as a result of an application
referred to in subsection (1) except to accurately reflect the route of
the pipeline on completion of construction and to reduce the licence
area but so that, except where the Minister is satisfied that the
exigencies of the case so require, the licence area is not in any
place narrower than 25 m having as its centreline an imaginary line
connecting markers erected in accordance with section 39(a) or
directions given under section 40.
