71 Notice before starting authorised activities for exploration
(1) This regulation prescribes the procedures for section 32(1) or 49 of
the Act to be followed by the title holder of an EL or EMEL in
relation to conducting authorised activities on the land in the title
area of the EL or EMEL.
(2) At least 14 days before the title holder intends to start conducting
authorised activities on the land, the title holder must give written
notice of the intention to the landowners or occupiers of the land.
(3) The notice must include the following information:
(a) the name and contact details of the title holder;
(b) the name and contact details of the person who will be in
charge of conducting the authorised activities;
(c) the nature of the exploration to be conducted on the land;
(d) the intended start date, and an estimate of the duration, of the
exploration;
(e) a map of the land on which the exploration is to be conducted,
clearly indicating its location and boundaries;
(f) details of the proposed place of entry onto the land.
(4) As soon as practicable after entering the land, the title holder must
take all reasonable steps to advise the occupiers of the land of the
entry before starting to conduct the authorised activities.
(5) However, subregulation (4) does not prevent the title holder from
starting to conduct the authorised activities if, after taking all
reasonable steps to find an occupier, the occupier cannot be found.
