### sec.170 Minister may add excluded land
The Minister may amend a petroleum lease by adding excluded land for the lease to its area only if—
the lease as amended complies with section 168 ; and
the lease holder consents.
If land mentioned in subsection (1) is added to the area of the lease, the land ceases to be excluded land for the lease.
The Minister may amend the provisions of the lease in a way that reflects the inclusion of the excluded land.
Also, the Minister may give the lease holder a notice—
withdrawing, from a stated day, the approval of the development plan for the lease; and
directing the holder to lodge a proposed later development plan for the lease that—
complies with the later development plan requirements; and
changes the development plan for the lease to reflect the inclusion of the excluded land.
The amended provisions of the lease or the proposed later development plan must not be—
inconsistent with the mandatory conditions for petroleum leases; or
the same as, or substantially the same as, or inconsistent with, any relevant environmental condition for the lease.
