GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ACT 2010 No. 31 - SECT 196

196 Public release of required information

(1) The mere fact of the existence of a geothermal tenure is taken to be an authorisation from its holder to the chief executive to do the following, after the end of any confidentiality period prescribed under a regulation--

(a) to publish in the way prescribed under a regulation required information for the geothermal tenure for public use;
(b) on payment of a fee prescribed under a regulation, to make the required information available to any person.

(2) Any confidentiality period prescribed under subsection (1) ceases if the information is about an authorised activity carried out only in an area no longer in the geothermal tenure's area.

Example--
The required information is a well completion report about a geothermal well drilled on particular land in a geothermal permit's area. Subsection (1) ceases to apply if all of that land is relinquished under the relinquishment condition for the permit.

(3) The authorisation is not affected by the ending of the geothermal tenure.
