(2) The person must give the specified person a notice (a preliminary exploration request) at least 14 days before the date of intended entry onto the land. (3) The preliminary exploration request must include the following: (a) a request that the specified person give written consent to the entry onto the relevant land to conduct preliminary exploration; Mineral Titles Regulations 2011 14 (b) the information mentioned in regulation 16(3)(b) to (i); (c) if the relevant land is private land or a park or reserve – a statement about the effect of section 168 of the Act if the specified person does not respond to the request.
