The area must not include any of the following ( unavailable land )— land in the area of another GHG tenure; land in the Great Artesian Basin; excluded land for a GHG tenure; land that a regulation prescribes as land over which a GHG permit can not be granted. The area may include a part of a block only if the part is all areas within the block that are left after taking away all unavailable land within the block (a residual block ). See also section 369B (3) if land in the GHG permit’s area is taken under a resumption law.
