39 When project leases stop having effect

(1) Without limiting the Land Act 1994 , a project lease stops having effect if—

(a) the relevant development agreement for the lease stops having effect; or

(b) the related access licence stops having effect; or

(c) the lease is surrendered under section 41 .

(2) Also, a project lease stops having effect on the day that is 30 days after the lessee stops being the proponent for the relevant development agreement for the lease unless the lessee complies with section 49 (1) (a) in relation to a transfer of the lease before that day.

(3) To remove any doubt, it is declared that—

(a) a project lease in relation to land that is a State forest or State plantation forest does not stop having effect only because the land stops being a State forest or State plantation forest; and

(b) a project lease in relation to land in the licence area for a plantation licence or plantation sublicence does not stop having effect only because—

(i) the land stops being in the licence area; or

(ii) the plantation licence or plantation sublicence stops having effect.
