43B. Certain consents etc. not required in case of unrestricted Crown land





(1) Despite any provision to the contrary made by or under any Act (being an
Act that relates to access to, or the doing of work under a licence on,
unrestricted Crown land) other than this Act that requires a person to obtain
any consent or other authority under that provision before carrying out
exploration or mining on unrestricted Crown land but subject to any conditions
imposed by the Minister on the exploration licence or mining licence (as the
case requires), it is not necessary for a licensee to obtain any such consent
or other authority before carrying out exploration or mining on unrestricted
Crown land.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the Planning and Environment Act 1987,
the Environment Protection Act 1970, the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 or
the Forests (Fire Protection) Regulations 2004.
