(2) While a clearing permit remains in force, the holder of the permit may: (a) during the clearing period – clear the land the subject of the permit; and (b) undertake work to maintain the land that was cleared in accordance with the permit. (3) Despite subsection (1)(b), if a clearing permit relates to land held under a term pastoral lease and at the expiry of that term the land for which the lease applied is granted a pastoral lease in perpetuity, the clearing permit continues: (a) in force as if the previous lease term had not expired; and (b) until revoked under section 91R or 91S. (4) If a clearing permit has been revoked under section 91R or 91S or the clearing period has lapsed under section 91J(4), a pastoral lessee is entitled to undertake work to maintain the land that was cleared in accordance with the permit despite the revocation or lapsed period. (5) The entitlement under subsection (4) does not permit the pastoral lessee to conduct any new clearing.
