Mines and Minerals Amendment Regulations 1997 (L.N. No. 152 of 1997).

These Regulations amend the Mines and Minerals Regulations in regulation 3 and by adding a regulation 3A (the current regulation 3A is renumbered regulation 3B). In regulation 3 these Regulations repeal and replace subparagraph 14(c) on the duty of the minister to negotiate terms and conditions of a mining lease or building permit. New regulation 3A concerns the duty of the Director to negotiate with landowners of land potentially affected by a special site right or a road access licence and the subsequent issue of such right or licence.
