17 Pastoral land and native title land – notice to occupier on entry
(1) This regulation applies if a person enters pastoral land or native title
land after giving the landowner a preliminary exploration notice (or
taking all reasonable steps to do so) because, when the notice was
given:
(a) the person could not locate the occupier of the land; or
(b) there was no occupier.
(2) As soon as practicable after entering the land, the person must:
(a) give the occupier notice of the entry and start of preliminary
exploration; or
(b) take all reasonable steps to do so.
(3) However, the person need not comply with subregulation (2) if:
(a) the person is still unable to locate the occupier; or
(b) there is still no occupier; or
(c) it is impractical to do so for another reason.
Example for subregulation (3)(c)
The preliminary exploration is to be conducted in a remote area of pastoral land
at a distance from the occupier's place of residence and it is not necessary to
pass by the residence to reach the area.
