Applications for licences that cover existing licence areas
(4) If an application for a feasibility licence covers an area that is, or is part of, the licence area of an existing licence, the Registrar may:
(a) notify the holder of the existing licence that the application has been made; and
(b) inform the holder of the existing licence of:
(i) the name of the applicant; and
(ii) the proposed licence area of the feasibility licence (including a description of the location, shape and size of the area); and
(iii) the kind of project that the applicant proposes to carry out in the proposed licence area; and
(c) invite the holder of the existing licence to make a submission in relation to the potential grant of the feasibility licence.
Note: The licence area of a feasibility licence must not include any part of the licence area of any other feasibility licence or a commercial licence (see paragraph 33(4)(b) of the Act).
(1) This section applies if:
(a) the Minister has invited applications for feasibility licences under section 9; and
(b) 2 or more such applications have been made in response to the invitation.
(2) The Minister may determine that a group of 2 or more of the applications forms an
overlapping application group if:
(a) the Minister considers all of the applications in the group to be of equal merit; and
(b) each application in the group overlaps at least one other application in the group; and
(c) the licence areas proposed by all of the applications in the group (including parts of those areas that overlap, and parts that do not overlap) together form a continuous area; and
(d) the Minister is satisfied that, if not for the overlap or overlaps, a feasibility licence could be offered in response to each of the applications in the group.
Note 1: For example, if applications A and B overlap each other, and applications B and C overlap each other, applications A, B and C may be in an overlapping application group even if applications A and C do not overlap.
Note 2: For when applications
overlap , see section 4.(3) In considering the merit of an application for the purposes of paragraph (2)(a):
(a) the Minister must have regard to:
(i) the technical and financial capability that the applicant is likely to have, or to be able to arrange to have, to carry out the proposed commercial offshore infrastructure project; and
(ii) the likely viability of the proposed commercial offshore infrastructure project; and
(iii) the suitability of the applicant to hold the licence; and
(iv) the national interest; and
(b) the Minister may have regard to any of the matters set out in section 26; and
(c) the Minister may have regard to any other matters the Minister considers relevant.
(4) To avoid doubt, the Minister may make more than one determination under subsection (2) in relation to a particular invitation for applications for feasibility licences.
(1) This section applies if:
(a) applications for feasibility licences are made in response to an invitation made by the Minister under section 9; and
(b) at least one application overlaps at least one other application made in response to that invitation.
(2) If an application (the
particular application ) for a feasibility licence overlaps at least one other application, the Minister must not offer or grant the feasibility licence if:
(a) the Minister exercises the Minister’s discretion under subsection 11(2) to determine an overlapping application group in response to the invitation, being an overlapping application group that does not include the particular application; and
(b) the only reason the particular application is not included in the overlapping application group is because the Minister considers it to be of lower merit than the other applications in the overlapping application group.
(3) If, after considering whether to determine that a group of applications (the
initial group ) that satisfies paragraphs 11(2)(b), (c) and (d) forms an overlapping application group, the Minister does not make the determination only because one application in the initial group is of higher merit than all of the others, the Minister must not offer or grant a feasibility licence in respect of any of the other applications in the initial group.(4) Nothing in this section prevents the Minister offering or granting a feasibility licence if the application for the feasibility licence is not included in an overlapping application group for a reason other than the reason mentioned in paragraph (2)(b) or subsection (3) of this section.
Example 1: Applications A, B, C, D and E relate to a declared area. Application A overlaps application B and application B overlaps application C. The applications satisfy paragraphs 11(2)(b) to (d), but application C is of lower merit than applications A and B. The Minister determines an overlapping application group that includes applications A and B, but not application C. The Minister must not offer or grant a feasibility licence in respect of application C.
Applications D and E overlap, but neither overlaps application A, B or C. Application E is of lower merit than application D. The Minister cannot determine an overlapping application group that includes applications D and E.
Further, application D cannot be included in the overlapping application group that includes applications A and B, because there is no overlap between applications A, B and D (so paragraphs 11(2)(b) and (c) are not satisfied).
This section does not prevent the Minister offering or granting a feasibility licence in respect of application D, because paragraph (2)(b) of this section is not satisfied in respect of application D.
Example 2: Applications F, G, H and I relate to a declared area. Application F overlaps application G. Application G also overlaps application H. Application H also overlaps application I. Application H is of lower merit than applications F, G and I. The Minister determines an overlapping application group that includes applications F and G, but not application H, because it is of lower merit. The Minister must not offer or grant a feasibility licence in respect of application H. Application I does not overlap application F or G, so it cannot be included in the overlapping application group, because paragraphs 11(2)(b) and (c) are not satisfied. This section does not prevent the Minister offering or granting a feasibility licence in respect of application I, because paragraph (2)(b) of this section is not satisfied in respect of application I.
(1) This section applies if the Minister determines that a group of 2 or more applications for feasibility licences forms an overlapping application group.
(2) The Registrar must notify the applicants that the determination has been made, and invite the applicants to revise and resubmit their applications to remove the overlap.
(3) The notice and invitation given to an applicant:
(a) must be in writing; and
(b) must set out, for each other applicant whose application overlaps the applicant’s application:
(i) the area or areas of overlap; and
(ii) the name of the other applicant; and
(iii) the kind of project that the other applicant proposes to carry out; and
(c) may include such other information as the Registrar considers reasonable about the applications mentioned in paragraph (b); and
(d) may include such information as the Registrar considers reasonable about other applications that cover areas adjacent to, or nearby, the area covered by the applicant’s application; and
(e) must specify the day on or before which an application, as revised, must be resubmitted; and
(f) must inform the applicant that any revised application must be in accordance with section 13.
(4) Subsections 10(2) to (4) apply to an application that is revised and resubmitted in accordance with this section, except that paragraph 10(2)(b) and subsection 10(3) apply as if a reference to the time specified in the invitation under paragraph 9(3)(b) were a reference to the end of the day specified by the Registrar under paragraph (3)(e) of this section.
(5) An applicant who revises an application in response to the invitation is not required to pay any additional fee for revising or resubmitting the application.
(6) If an applicant revises and resubmits an application in response to the invitation on or before the day specified under paragraph (3)(e), and the revised application is in accordance with section 13, then, after that day:
(a) the revised application replaces the original application; and
(b) the original application is to be disregarded.
Note: If the revised application is not in accordance with section 13, the original application remains in effect.
(1) For the purposes of subsection 12(6), a revised application for a feasibility licence is in accordance with this section if the Registrar is satisfied that:
(a) the revised application is, so far as is reasonably possible, substantially similar to the original application; and
(b) the revised application does not overlap any other application for a feasibility licence made in response to the same invitation under section 9 (including other applications that are, or are not, in the same overlapping application group).
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), the Registrar may consider:
(a) the location, shape and size of the licence areas proposed by the revised application and the original application; and
(b) the details of the proposed commercial offshore infrastructure projects of the revised application and the original application; and
(c) anything else the Registrar considers relevant.
(3) If, for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), the Registrar is comparing the licence area of the revised application to the licence area of another application that has also been revised and resubmitted, the Registrar must have regard only to the licence area of the other application as revised (and not to the licence area of the other application as originally made).
(1) This section applies if:
(a) the Registrar has invited 2 or more applicants from an overlapping application group to revise and resubmit their applications under subsection 12(2) (whether or not any of those applicants have done so); and
(b) the day specified in the invitation under paragraph 12(3)(e) has passed.
(2) The Minister may determine that a group of 2 or more of the applications forms a
financial offer group if:
(a) each application in the group overlaps at least one other application in the group; and
(b) the licence areas proposed by all of the applications in the group (including parts of those areas that overlap, and parts that do not overlap) together form a continuous area; and
(c) the Minister is satisfied that, if not for the overlap or overlaps, a feasibility licence could be offered in response to each of the applications in the group.
Note 1: For example, if applications A and B overlap each other, and applications B and C overlap each other, applications A, B and C may be in a financial offer group even if applications A and C do not overlap.
Note 2: For when applications
overlap , see section 4.(3) If the Registrar has made more than one invitation under subsection 12(2) as a result of a particular invitation by the Minister under section 9, the Minister may make a determination under subsection (2) of this section only after the end of the latest day specified under paragraph 12(3)(e) in any of the invitations under subsection 12(2).
(4) To avoid doubt, the Minister may make more than one determination under subsection (2) in relation to a particular invitation under subsection 12(2) for applicants from an overlapping application group to revise and resubmit their applications.
(1) This section applies if the Minister determines that a group of 2 or more applications for feasibility licences forms a financial offer group.
Financial offers for feasibility licences
(2) The Minister may, in writing, invite the applicants to submit financial offers in relation to their applications.
(3) The invitation to submit financial offers:
(a) must:
(i) include information on how the offers are to be made; and
(ii) specify the day on or before which the offers must be made; and
(iii) require the applicants to substantiate their ability to pay amounts offered; and
(iv) set out the effect of section 16; and
(b) may specify other requirements to be addressed in the submission of the financial offer.
(4) A financial offer in relation to an application for a feasibility licence must:
(a) be made in writing to the Registrar; and
(b) be made on or before the day specified in the invitation under subparagraph (3)(a)(ii); and
(c) address any other requirements specified in the invitation.
(1) This section applies if the Minister invites, under subsection 15(2), the applicants whose applications are in a financial offer group to submit financial offers in relation to their applications.
Dealing with financial offers
(2) The Minister may only offer to grant a feasibility licence to:
(a) the applicant that has submitted the highest financial offer out of the applications in the financial offer group; or
(b) if, as a result of the operation of subsection (5), there is only one application in the financial offer group—the applicant for that application.
(3) If there is no single highest financial offer because 2 or more applicants (the
tied applicants ) have submitted equal financial offers, the Minister may do any of the following:
(a) if a tied applicant’s application does not overlap any other tied applicant’s application—offer to grant a feasibility licence to that tied applicant;
(b) for any tied applicants whose applications overlap each other—invite those tied applicants to submit increased financial offers;
(c) if an invitation under paragraph (b) does not result in there being a single highest financial offer because the financial offers of 2 or more of the tied applicants are equal—offer to grant a feasibility licence to any of those tied applicants, as the Minister thinks fit.
(4) Subsections 15(3) and (4) apply in relation to an invitation under subsection (3)(b) of this section, and any financial offer submitted in response to such an invitation, as if the invitation were an invitation under subsection 15(2).
(5) If:
(a) the Minister offers to grant a feasibility licence to an applicant whose application is in the financial offer group; and
(b) any of the following occurs:
(i) the feasibility licence is granted;
(ii) the applicant withdraws the application;
(iii) the application lapses;
(iv) the feasibility licence is not granted for some other reason (including because the applicant does not pay a financial offer in relation to the application); and
(c) after that occurrence, a feasibility licence could be offered in respect of at least one of the other applications in the financial offer group;
this section applies again to the remaining application or applications mentioned in paragraph (c) as if that application, or those applications, comprised a financial offer group.
Note: For example, if applications A, B and C are in a financial offer group, and:
(a) applications A and B overlap each other; and
(b) applications B and C overlap each other; and
(c) applications A and C do not overlap each other; and
(d) the Minister invites each applicant to submit a financial offer; and
(e) applicant A submits the highest offer;
then:
(f) the Minister may only offer to grant a licence to applicant A; and
(g) if applicant A accepts the offer, and the licence is granted—this section applies again, and the Minister may offer to grant a licence to applicant C; and
(h) if applicant A does not accept the offer—this section applies again, and the Minister may offer to grant a licence to whichever of applicant B or C submitted a higher financial offer.
(6) If an applicant for a feasibility licence submits a financial offer in relation to the application, the Minister may only grant the licence to the applicant if the amount of the financial offer has been paid to the Commonwealth.
Note: The financial offer must be paid even if, at the time the licence would be granted, there are no overlapping applications (for example, because all other applicants have withdrawn their applications, or in the case mentioned in paragraph (g) of the note to subsection (5)).
Applicants that do not submit financial offers
(7) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), treat an applicant that has not submitted a financial offer as having submitted a financial offer of nil. Subsection (6) does not prevent the Minister granting a feasibility licence to such an applicant.
(1) An eligible person that holds a feasibility licence may apply for a commercial licence.
(2) The application must:
(a) be made in the manner and form that is:
(i) approved by the Registrar; and

(b) include a description of the offshore infrastructure project to be carried out under the commercial licence; and
(c) be accompanied by evidence that the Regulator has approved, under the licensing scheme, a management plan for the commercial licence; and
(d) be accompanied by any other information or documents required by the approved form.
Note: For application fees, see section 146. An application is taken to have been made only if the fee for dealing with the application has been paid (see section 147).

(a) notify the holder of the existing licence that the application has been made; and
(b) inform the holder of the existing licence of:
(i) the name of the applicant; and
(ii) the proposed licence area of the commercial licence (including a description of the location, shape and size of the area); and
(iii) the kind of project that the applicant proposes to carry out in the proposed licence area; and
(c) invite the holder of the existing licence to make a submission in relation to the potential grant of the commercial licence.

(a) notify the holder of the existing licence that the application has been made; and
(b) inform the holder of the existing licence of:
(i) the name of the applicant; and
(ii) the proposed licence area of the transmission and infrastructure licence (including a description of the location, shape and size of the area); and
