Issuing of a Section 40E Permit

Information for Section 40E Permit holders once an application is granted by the department.
Last updated:

Once an application for a Section 40E Permit is granted by the department, permit holders will receive a permit and area map, showing the nominated graticular blocks.

Permit holders must forward a copy of the permit and map to any pastoralist affected, before commencing prospecting.

Other aspects to note:

  • permit holders cannot apply for a permit to access an exploration licence if they already hold a permit over any part of the same licence.
  • people can apply for more than one permit for different exploration licences at the same time, however, these permits operate concurrently – start times cannot be staggered to suit applicants.
  • there can be more than one permit over the same graticular block but held by different permit holders
