91K Duration and effect of clearing permit
(1) A clearing permit remains in force until the earlier of:
(a) the day the permit is revoked under section 91R or 91S; or
(b) the day the expiry of the pastoral lease granted for the land
the subject of the permit.
(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(4) If a clearing permit has been revoked under section 91R or 91S or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.
