45C Authority conferred by low-impact prospecting title
(1) The Minister
may, by order published in the Gazette, determine the kind of
prospecting operations that may be authorised by a low-impact prospecting
title, being operations that the Minister is satisfied are unlikely to have a
significant impact on the land over which the title may be granted. Different
kinds of operations may be determined for exploration licences and for special
prospecting authorities.
(2) The conditions to which a low-impact prospecting
title is subject are to limit the prospecting operations authorised by the
title to all or some of the prospecting operations of the kind determined by
the Minister under this section.
(3) A change in the prospecting operations
determined by the Minister under this section does not affect a low-impact
prospecting title that is in force at the time the change is made.
