259        When surrender notice ceases to have effect
                A surrender notice ceases to have effect if, within the period

                      (i)      renewed or continued in force; or
                      (ii) consolidated with another relevant tenure; or
                (b)   if the relevant tenure is a mining tenure—the tenure is
                      replaced with a new tenure of the same type in respect of
                      all or part of the land included in the relevant tenure; or
                (c)   a replacement environmental authority is issued to the
                      holder, and the replacement environmental authority has
                      taken effect.
