### sec.318BN Publication of outcome of application
After the Minister decides whether to grant the mining lease, the chief executive must publish a notice about the outcome of the application in the gazette or another publication the Minister considers appropriate.
The notice must state—
whether the Minister decided to grant, or not to grant, the mining lease; and
if the decision was to grant—the conditions decided by the Minister; and
if, under section 318BA , a preference decision is required and the preference decision was to give petroleum development preference for the whole or part of the land—the decision, and the reasons for it.
However, if the chief executive considers that information in any condition is commercial-in-confidence, the chief executive may, instead of publishing the condition, publish a statement about the intent of the condition.
