After section 75 insert:
75A—Ministerial declarations—related matters
(1) This Part does not
limit the ability of the Minister to make a declaration under Part 4 Division
2 Subdivision 1 in respect of a proposal that involves—
(a)
proposed mining operations on a mining tenement; and
(b)
proposed development associated with the mining operations.
(2) For the avoidance
of doubt, a determination under this Part with respect to the preparation of
an environmental impact statement or public environmental report does not
bring the relevant mining operations within the ambit of Subdivision 2 of
Part 4 Division 2 (but may bring an associated development within
the ambit of that Subdivision by virtue of the operation of
section 75(7)).
