sec.137 Minister’s power to decide excluded land

The Minister may decide excluded land for a GHG lease or proposed GHG lease. However, the power under subsection (1) may be exercised only when the Minister is deciding whether to— grant the GHG lease; or approve any later development plan for the GHG lease. However, excluded land— must be within any sub-block included in the area of the GHG lease; and can not be a whole sub-block. For subsection (3) (a) , if the register— states that the GHG lease’s area includes land within a block; but does not include or exclude any particular sub-block within that block; the reference to the block in the register is a reference to all sub-blocks within the block other than any sub-block that is completely within the area of another GHG tenure. Excluded land may be described in a way the Minister considers appropriate, including for example, by area or by reference to a stated type of land. Land ceases to be excluded land for a GHG lease if for any reason, the sub-block in which the land is located ceases to be in the lease’s area. s 137 amd 2018 No. 24 s 19 (sec.137-ssec.1) The Minister may decide excluded land for a GHG lease or proposed GHG lease.
