34  Requirement to give utilisation notice

 (1) A notifying entity for a utilisation activity must give a notice (a utilisation notice) for the activity to the Minister.

Note: The notifying entity may also be required to give a post‑collection notice under section 23.

 (2) The utilisation notice must be given as soon as practicable after the first day on which a result of the activity becomes publicly available.

 (3) If there is more than one result of the activity, the notifying entity is not required to give a utilisation notice to the Minister for any result which becomes publicly available after the first notice is given.

Note: However, the entity must notify the Minister of the result and the Minister must vary the utilisation notification certificate accordingly (see section 37 and subsection 38(1)).
