  • the lease has expired but application has been made for renewal or other action has been taken under the provisions of the Land Act Act 1994 (Qld) for continuity of the Lease; or
  • land dealings on the lease in the form of subdivisions, amalgamations, additional areas or conversion to a perpetual tenure result in a new lease being issued; or
