REASONS FOR DECISION TO DISMISS OBJECTION APPLICATION
On 22 September 1999, the Government party gave notice of its intention to grant exploration licence 08/1139 to Goldleaf Asset Pty Ltd (‘the grantee party’) and included in the notice a statement that it considered that the grant attracted the expedited procedure.
On 16 December 1999, Ronald Crowe & Others on behalf of Gnulli (’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 13 July 2000, the exploration licence application made by Goldleaf Asset Pty Ltd 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).
