(2) The notice must be given at least 5 business days before the intended entry (or a shorter time acceptable to the owner and endorsed on the notice).
(3) If the owner can not be easily contacted, the holder may notify the occupier of the land of the intended entry.
Examples of the owner not being easily contacted--
1 The owner does not live in Australia and there is no known current address for the owner.
2 The owner is travelling within Australia and there is no known current address for the owner.
(4) If the holder satisfies the mining registrar it is impracticable to give either the owner or occupier notice of the intended entry, the mining registrar may dispense with the need to give notice.
(5) If the mining registrar dispenses with the need to give notice, the mining registrar must make an appropriate endorsement on the permit.
(6) However, before making the endorsement, the mining registrar may require the holder to take the action the mining registrar considers appropriate to publicise the proposed entry, including, for example, publishing an advertisement in a newspaper or other publication.
