The Mining Amendment Bill and New Royalty Provisions
The Mining Amendment Bill 1048 passed the Legislative Council and will become law soon, introducing major changes to mining on Crown and private lands. It lowers rent per acre, imposes a one percent royalty on net output with a £500 exemption to encourage development, and standardizes royalties across private and Crown lands. It expands private land eligibility for mining, tightens prospecting access, requires compensation for surface damage, and gives authorities power to suspend or cancel leases for labor noncompliance. It also clarifies tailings ownership, introduces protections for surface owners, empowers resumption of private lands for mining, and adds minor administrative corrections to the 1906 Act.
