Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service Updates

The Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service has just been updated to include new amendments from the Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Transitional Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2017 (No. 32) (QLD).

Reg 32 of 2017 (QLD)

The Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Transitional Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2017 achieves the policy objectives by inserting new sections into the Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Transitional Regulation 2016. These new sections will:

• Preserve the old restricted land frameworks for resource authorities applied for under the pre-amended Mineral Resources Act 1989 and the Geothermal Energy Act 2010 but had not been granted at the time the Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Act 2014 commenced; and
• Ensure that the new restricted land framework does not apply to applicants for authorities to prospect and petroleum leases applied for under the preamended Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 and Petroleum Act 1923, or for any resource authority under the Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2009, regardless of whether the resource authority had been granted before or after commencement of the Mineral and Energy (Common Provisions) Act 2014.

The amendments made by Reg 32 of 2017 (QLD) are updated in the Point-in-Time Energy and Resources Service with a currency of 16 March 2017. (NB: Subscription required).
