Approved Form 24 – Notice of Application for the Grant of a Mineral Title
Section 66 of the Mineral Titles Act(MTA) requires all applicantsfor a mineral title to serve a notice on the landowner of each parcel of land affected by the application, no later than 14 days after lodging the application with the Department of Primary Industry and Resources (the department).
Previously this requirement applied to each landowner identified through a search of the land register (ILIS) only, however as provided for at s66(3) of the MTA this has now expanded to incorporate the station/land manager, where the application is for an exploration licence and falls over a pastoral lease.
This template form is to be used for all notifications and proof of service required by s66. The form is made up of three sections.
Section A: Applies to all applications
Completion is mandatory for ALL mineral title applications and this section of the form must be sent to each landowner identified as being affected by the application.
Section B: Applies to an application for an exploration licence on pastoral land only.
In addition to section A, this section of the form must be completedwhere the application is for an exploration licence on pastoral land. The notice must be emailed to the address below for re-direction to the relevant Station/Land Manager. The email address for the service of this notice is:
This section provides the opportunity for the Station/Land Manager to acknowledge receipt of the notice by returning it directly to the applicant within 14 days of receiving the notice.
Receipt of notice is deemed to have occurred after this period of time, even if no acknowledgement is received by the applicant.
Any acknowledgements received by the applicant must be provided to DPIR.
Section C:
No later than 14 days after the service of section Anotices, and if required section B notices, the applicant must provide proof of service to the department.
