20 4. Application and exception
This Act applies to all Crown land within the Burrup Peninsula
other than Crown land on which, when this Act comes into
operation, there exists plant and equipment whose use, or
intended use when commissioned, would require approval as a
25 proposal.
5. Proposals contingent on parliamentary approval
(1) The Minister is to cause a proposal, a statement describing the
rights, title, or interest that the Minister intends to grant or
create in or over the relevant land and a copy of the instruments
30 necessary for that purpose, and any agreement described in
page 2

s. 6
subsection (2), to be laid before each House of Parliament
within 6 sitting days of each House after the day on which the
Minister gave formal notice to the proponents of that intent.
(2) Subsection (1) also applies to any agreement imposing or
5 creating an obligation or liability on the State Government with
respect to the proposal.
(3) An instrument described in subsection (1) has effect, and a
proposal may be implemented, if each House passes a resolution
in the same session approving the proposal. If the question
10 expressing approval of the proposal passes either House in the
negative, the proposal lapses but may be re-submitted, with or
without amendment, in accordance with the rules and orders of
that House.
(4) Where a question under subsection (3) is unresolved in either
15 House when Parliament is prorogued the proposal lapses but
may be re-submitted in a subsequent session.
6. Proposals not severable
Without limiting any amendment or substitution permitted
under the rules and orders of a House, a proposal must be
20 approved in the form in which it was laid and cannot be severed
so that part only is approved or approval is given subject to
conditions imposed by a House.
