337 Variations etc to licences

(1) The Minister must register:

(a) the details of any document under this Act that varies, surrenders, cancels or otherwise affects a licence, and

(b) the details of any document that varies or revokes a document referred to in paragraph (a).

Note—

The documents referred to in paragraph (a) are:

• suspension of licence rights (see sections 48 (exploration licence), 135 (retention licence) and 195 (mining licence)),

• amendment of licence conditions between provisional grant and registration (see sections 67 (exploration licence), 148 (retention licence), 211 (mining licence) and 280 (works licence))—these need to be registered at the same time as the grant is registered because if the conditions are amended between provisional grant and registration a replacement licence reflecting the change in conditions is not issued to the provisional holder,

• extension of term (see sections 90, 95 and 97 (exploration licence)),

• surrender of the whole or a part of a licence (see sections 99 and 127 (exploration licence), 158 and 187 (retention licence), 235 and 264 (mining licence) and 312 (works licence)),

• voluntary surrender—special approval (see section 100 (exploration licence)),

• mandatory reduction of licence area—special permission (see section 104 (exploration licence)),

• amendment of licence conditions between provisional renewal and registration (see sections 111 (exploration licence), 170 (retention licence), 247 (mining licence) and 297 (works licence))—these need to be registered at the same time as the renewal because if the licence conditions are amended between provisional renewal and registration a replacement licence reflecting the changed conditions is not issued to the holder,

• variation of conditions (see sections 120 (exploration licence), 179 (retention licence), 256 (mining licence) and 306 (works licence)),

• exemption from or suspension of condition (see sections 121 (exploration licence), 180 (retention licence), 257 (mining licence) and 307 (works licence)),

• cancellation (see sections 130 (exploration licence), 189 and 190 (retention licence), 265 (mining licence) and 313 (works licence)),
