(a) the Crown licence continues in force as a licence under this Act granted to the transferee, and

(b) the transferee becomes liable for any rent, fees or other amounts under the Crown licence (including any that are in arrears).

(5) A transferee to whom subsection (4) applies must, in the manner and within the period prescribed by the regulations, notify the Minister of the date of the transfer and the transferee's name and address.

: Maximum penalty--50 penalty units.

(6) The Registrar-General must, when requested to do so by the Minister, record information in the Register to indicate that the transfer of other land (or a lease over the land) is subject to the requirements of this section.
