sec.66 Royalty payable for quarry material

The holder of a resources permit authorising the removal of quarry material from a resources reserve must pay the State 2.85 fee units for each cubic metre of quarry material removed from the reserve. The royalty is payable— if the permit is granted for a stated amount of quarry material to be removed under the permit—in total when the permit is granted; or otherwise—monthly, at the end of each month during which quarry material is removed under the permit. However, the chief executive may exempt a government entity or a local government from paying the whole or part of the royalty payable under this section if the chief executive considers it is appropriate having regard to each of the following— the purpose for which the reserve was declared to be a resources reserve; whether the material is to be used for a public purpose; whether there is another source for the material that is not in a protected area; if there is another source for the material that is not in a protected area—the costs involved in obtaining the material from the other source relative to the costs involved in obtaining the material from the resources reserve. A royalty payable under this section is a debt due to the State. In this section— government entity see the Public Sector Act 2022 , section 276 .
