                (g)   a copy of any request for referral made by the applicant
                      under section 183.
          (4)   The referral starts a proceeding before the Land Court for it to
                make the objections decision.

186        Parties to Land Court proceedings
                The parties to the Land Court proceeding are as follows—

                (b)   the applicant;
                (c)   any objector for the application;
                (d)   anyone else decided by the Land Court.

187        Notice of referral
                The administering authority must, within 10 business days
                after making the referral—
                (a)   give the applicant a copy of—
                      (i)    the notice mentioned in section 185(3)(a); and
                      (ii) if an objection notice was given—the objection
                           notice and the submission to which the objection
                           notice relates; and
                (b)   give any objector a copy of the notice mentioned in
                      section 185(3)(a).

188        Objections decision hearing
          (1)   The Land Court may, of its own initiative, make orders or
                directions it considers appropriate for a hearing for the
                objections decision (the objections decision hearing).
          (2)   Without limiting subsection (1), the Land Court may make an
                order or direction that the objections decision hearing happen
                at the same time as a hearing under the Mineral Resources Act
                for the relevant mining tenure.
