(1) This section applies if—

(a) a mining lease application for land was made on or after 17 March 2008; and

(b) under section 318AQ, 318AR, 318BQ, 318BR, 318BY or 318CE as in force before the commencement of this section (each the
"unamended provision" ), separate mining lease applications were required to be made for particular parts of the land; and

(c) separate mining lease applications were not made as required by the unamended provision.

(2) Despite the noncompliance with the requirement, the application is taken to be, and is taken to always have been, a mining lease application for the land made under parts 7 and 7AA.
