DAMPIER TO BUNBURY PIPELINE ACT 1997 - SECT 41

41 .         Restrictions on land in the DBNGP corridor

        (1)         When —

            (a)         land becomes part of the DBNGP corridor because of section 31; or

            (b)         under section 33, the DBNGP Land Access Minister designates any additional land to be in the DBNGP corridor,

                the land becomes subject to restrictions under this section.

        (2)         The restrictions are —

            (a)         that the land is not to be used in a way that is inconsistent with anything that is on, or is being done on, the land in accordance with rights conferred under section 34;

            (b)         that, unless the approval in writing of the DBNGP Land Access Minister has been obtained first —

                  (i)         the land is not to be used; and

                  (ii)         statutory powers under any other written law are not to be exercised on or in respect of the land,

                in a way or to an extent that could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the exercise in the future of rights that have been, or might in the future be, conferred under section 34; and

            (c)         such other restrictions, if any, as are prescribed by the regulations.

        (3)         The DBNGP Land Access Minister may refuse to give approval under subsection (2)(b) on the grounds of the likelihood of, or the extent of, the interference referred to in that provision or on any other grounds that the DBNGP Land Access Minister thinks relevant.

        (4)         Regulations may make it an offence to contravene a restriction under this section, and may prescribe a fine of not more than $10 000 in respect of the offence.
