12. The Warden shall have the right to grant any mining privilege or easement in and over the land comprised in a pastoral lease, subject to the compensation for improvements as provided for in “The Mining Act, 1898,” and its amendments.

13. No previous consent shall be required from the licensee to enable the Warden to grant any application which may be lawfully made to him under the Mining Act or regulations for the time being in force in and over the lands comprised in a pastoral license, unless the applicant encroaches upon the area containing the dwellinghouse or immediately surrounding same, provided the dwelling is of a substantial nature, the land in cultivation, and surrounded by a substantial fence. For the purpose of this proviso, and for the purpose of Regulation No. 11 hereof, the area to be protected to the licensee around his dwelling shall be 15 acres. Provided, however, in all cases where the area which otherwise would be protected is not cultivated or substantially fenced, then so much only of the area as is substantially fenced or cultivated shall be protected.

14. The Warden shall have the power from time to time to make such reserves as he may deem necessary, and the same shall thereupon be excluded from the land comprised in a pastoral license, and rent shall be proportionally reduced as set forth in Regulation No. 16, and the Warden may do all such other things as may in his opinion be of benefit to the resident community, or may in any way conduce to the advancement of the mining industry or of the persons engaged therein.

15. The Crown and the local bodies shall have the right to survey and take all lands necessary for the construction of roads on the demised pastoral lands, and compensation only for the value of substantial improvements made by the licensee will be paid in case of land resumed for public purposes.

16. For all land resumed for public or mining purposes a reduction proportionate to the acreage resumed on future annual rentals shall be made.

17. Applications to transfer a license under these regulations shall be made to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, and shall be subject to the approval of the Land Board. No transfer will be allowed until permanent improvements have been effected to the value of 2s. per acre upon the area held under the license. Such permanent improvements shall include reclamation from swamps, clearing of bush and scrub (not required by the Warden for mining purposes, or of trees of a specified size, as in Regulation No. 9), gorse, broom, or sweetbriar, grassing, cultivation, planting with trees and live hedges, the laying-out and cultivating of gardens, fencing, grassing, draining, making roads, sinking wells or water-tanks, sheep-dips, making embankments or protective works of any kind, in any way improving the character or fertility of the soil, or the erection of any building at lessee’s option upon the protected area of 15 acres, as described in Regulation No. 13.

18. Forfeiture of all licenses may ensue if payment of rental is not made within three months of the date it is due, or if the licensee fails to effect substantial improvements to the value of 2s. per acre within three years from the date of the license.

19. All existing pack-tracks, whether surveyed or not, to remain available for public use, and where the licensee fences across the same a swing-gate must be provided to the satisfaction of the Warden.

20. Every holder of a miner’s right shall have the right of ingress and egress over the whole area of a pastoral license, excepting so much thereof as may be under cultivation and substantially fenced, as provided in paragraph 13 of these regulations.

21. All water rights are reserved to the Crown, but not so as to deprive the licensee’s stock of access to the water on his holding.
