#### 41 Application for licence
(1) An application under section 39A, 40, 40A or 40B:
(b) shall be made in an approved manner;
(c) shall be accompanied by particulars of the proposals of the applicant for work and expenditure in respect of the area comprised in the blocks specified in the application;
(d) may set out any other matters that the applicant wishes to be considered; and
(e) shall, in the case of an application for the grant of a licence, be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
(1A) An application under section 39A or 40A for the grant of a Greater Sunrise unit reservoir licence must also:
(a) nominate a person to be the unit operator, as defined in the Greater Sunrise unitisation agreement; and
(b) be accompanied by each Joint Venturers’ Agreement, as defined in the Greater Sunrise unitisation agreement; and
(c) be accompanied by a copy of the proposed Development Plan, as defined in the Greater Sunrise unitisation agreement.
(2) The Designated Authority may, at any time, by instrument in writing served on the applicant, require him to furnish, within the period specified in the instrument, further information in writing in connexion with his application.
(3) If the Designated Authority receives an application, or further information, the Designated Authority must, within 28 days, determine whether or not sufficient information has been received to determine the application. If the Designated Authority considers that sufficient information has been provided, the Designated Authority must issue the applicant with a notice to that effect specifying the last date on which information was provided.
(4) The issuing of a notice under subsection (3) does not prevent the Designated Authority from later requiring further information under subsection (2). However, the later request does not affect the notice under subsection (3).
(5) If an application is finalised without a licence being granted, any notice issued under subsection (3) in relation to that application is taken never to have been issued.
> Note: Examples: An application may be finalised because it is withdrawn or because it is refused.
