54A Review of estimated carrying capacity
(1) The Agency may review the estimated carrying capacity of pastoral
land at any time.
(2) A pastoral lessee may apply to the Agency to request a review of
the estimated carrying capacity of the pastoral lessee's pastoral
land at any time.
(3) As soon as practicable after receiving an application under
subsection (2), the Agency must:
(a) review the determination of estimated carrying capacity; or
(b) refuse to review the determination.
(4) If, after a review, the Agency considers the existing determination is
no longer accurate, the Agency must make a new determination
under section 54.
(5) If the Agency refuses to conduct a review, the Agency must provide
written notice of the refusal and the reasons for the refusal to the
pastoral lessee.
55 Rent
(1) Despite anything in a pastoral lease document, the rent payable for
a financial year in respect of a pastoral lease is to be calculated
using the formula:
PLR = ECC x PLRF
where:
PLR = the annual pastoral lease rent in dollars
Pastoral Land Act 1992 36
ECC = the estimated carrying capacity expressed in animal
equivalents as determined by the Agency under section 54
PLRF = the pastoral lease rent factor declared under subsection (2)
or (3)
(2) The Minister may, before 30 June in a financial year, by Gazette
notice, declare the pastoral lease rent factor for a District for the
following financial year.
(3) If the Minister does not declare the pastoral lease rent factor for a
District under subsection (2) before 30 June in a financial year, the
pastoral lease rent factor for the following financial year remains
unchanged.
