(1) The main purposes are achieved by providing for the following matters mainly in this Act, rather than in each of the Resource Acts—
(a) dealings, caveats and associated agreements;
(b) land access;
(c) the new framework for overlapping coal and petroleum resource authorities for coal seam gas;
(d) the resource authority register;
(e) other miscellaneous matters.
(2) It is the intention of Parliament that this Act be the first step towards the replacement of the Resource Acts with a simplified common framework that will apply to all resource authorities.
