Part 6 Progressive rehabilitation

[s 318ZC]

               obligation for the certified rehabilitated area than any
               obligation applying under the existing conditions.
               Example of a change to impose a more stringent requirement—
                 A change to an existing condition to require rehabilitation to alter a
                 gradient to a lower slope is more stringent because of the necessarily
                 increased costs of recontouring the gradient.
         (4)   The obligation under subsection (2) ends on the last of the
               following to happen—
               (a)    the surrender under resource legislation of the relevant
                      tenure, or part of the relevant tenure;
               (b)    the environmental authority ends or ceases to have
                      effect;
               (c)    if the existing conditions include a condition requiring
                      compliance with an obligation after the authority ends
                      or ceases to have effect—compliance with the condition.
