1994-No. 430

MINING ACT 1992—REGULATION

(Relating to fees)

NEW SOUTH WALES

[Published in Gazette No. 108 of 26 August 1994]

HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, and in pursuance of the Mining Act 1992, has been pleased to make the Regulation set forth hereunder.

I. R. CAUSLEY
Minister for Mines.

Commencement

1. This Regulation commences on 1 September 1994.

Amendment

2. The Mining (General) Regulation 1992 is amended by omitting from Part 1 of Schedule 5 the words “or part thereof” wherever occurring and by inserting instead the words “(and proportionately for part of a square kilometre)”.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the Mining (General) Regulation 1992 sets the fees payable

for (among other things) applications for, and renewals of, authorities-that is,

exploration licences, assessment leases and mining leases. Fees for authorities relating to
coal consist of a set amount plus an additional amount per square kilometre or part of a
square kilometre of the land over which the authority is sought.

1994—No. 430

This Regulation alters those fees. In future, any “part” of a square kilometre of the land concerned will attract only the relevant proportion of the per-square-kilometre charge.

This Regulation is made under the Mining Act 1992 and, in particular, under sections

13, 33. 51, 113 and 388 (the general regulation-making power).
