330 Publication of outcome of application
(1) After the Minister decides
whether to grant the petroleum lease, the chief executive must publish a
notice about the outcome of the application in the gazette or another
publication the Minister considers appropriate.
(2) The notice must state—
(a) whether the Minister decided to grant or not to grant the petroleum lease;
and
(b) if the decision was to grant—any conditions of the petroleum lease
other than the mandatory conditions; and
(c) if, under section 318, a
preference decision was required and that decision was to give coal or oil
shale development preference for the whole or part of the land—the decision,
and the reasons for it.
(3) However, if the chief executive considers that
information in any condition is commercial-in-confidence, the chief executive
may, instead of publishing the condition, publish a statement about the intent
of the condition.
