REASONS FOR DECISION TO DISMISS OBJECTION APPLICATION
On 19 May 1999, the Government party gave notice of its intention to grant exploration licence 80/2423 to William Carlton, Keith Fox, Jardup Pty Ltd and Samuel Brian Warne (‘the grantee party’) and included in the notice a statement that it considered that the grant attracted the expedited procedure.
On 20 September 1999 Jack Ryder (’the native title party’) made an expedited procedure objection application to the Tribunal.
The Department of Minerals and Energy on behalf of the Government party has advised the Tribunal that on 15 February 2000, the exploration licence application made by William Carlton, Keith Fox, Jardup Pty Ltd and Samuel Brian Warne was discontinued.
Decision
There is no longer any proposal from the Government to do the future act and accordingly the objection application is dismissed pursuant to s 148(a) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (as amended).
