PETROLEUM AND GAS (PRODUCTION AND SAFETY) ACT 2004 - SECT 916
Pipeline licences
916 Pipeline licences
(1) This section applies if a pipeline licence (the
"old licence" ) under the 1923 Act is in force immediately before 31 December
2004 for land.
(2) On 31 December 2004—
(a) the old licence is a pipeline
licence under this Act for the land (a
"converted licence" ); and
(b) the holder of the old licence is the holder of
the converted licence; and
(c) if the old licence had a term, the converted
licence is for the balance of the old licence’s term; and
(d) the converted
licence is held subject to this Act and the conditions of the old licence,
other than any condition that is the same, or substantially the same, as any
relevant environmental condition for the converted licence.
(3) However, if a
condition of the old licence conflicts with any of the following (the
"overruling provision" ) the overruling provision prevails to the extent of
the inconsistency—
(a) a provision of this Act;
(b) a mandatory condition
for pipeline licences under this Act;
(c) a relevant environmental condition
for the converted licence.
