     2.         Commencement
                This Act comes into operation on the day on which it receives
                the Royal Assent.

     3.         Definitions
5               In this Act --
                "Burrup Peninsula" is all land located within latitude 20°31' -
                     21°41' and longitude 116°44' - 116°52';
                "Crown land" has the meaning it is given in section 3 of the
                     Land Administration Act 1997;
10              "land" has the meaning it is given in section 3 of the Land
                     Administration Act 1997;
                "Minister" is the minister of the Crown in whom the
                     administration of the Land Administration Act 1997 is
                     vested by the Governor;
15              "proposal" is a fully detailed and costed project to establish,
                     maintain and operate, on land subject to this Act, any plant
                     or equipment solely or primarily intended for use in
                     producing, processing, storing or treating petro-chemicals
                     including any derivative;

20   4.         Application and exception
                This Act applies to all Crown land within the Burrup Peninsula
                other than Crown land on which, when this Act comes into
                operation, there exists plant and equipment whose use, or
                intended use when commissioned, would require approval as a
25              proposal.

     5.         Proposals contingent on parliamentary approval
          (1)   The Minister is to cause a proposal, a statement describing the
                rights, title, or interest that the Minister intends to grant or
                create in or over the relevant land and a copy of the instruments
30              necessary for that purpose, and any agreement described in

                                                                                s. 6



                subsection (2), to be laid before each House of Parliament
                within 6 sitting days of each House after the day on which the
                Minister gave formal notice to the proponents of that intent.
          (2)   Subsection (1) also applies to any agreement imposing or
5               creating an obligation or liability on the State Government with
                respect to the proposal.
          (3)   An instrument described in subsection (1) has effect, and a
                proposal may be implemented, if each House passes a resolution
                in the same session approving the proposal. If the question
10              expressing approval of the proposal passes either House in the
                negative, the proposal lapses but may be re-submitted, with or
                without amendment, in accordance with the rules and orders of
                that House.
          (4)   Where a question under subsection (3) is unresolved in either
15              House when Parliament is prorogued the proposal lapses but
                may be re-submitted in a subsequent session.

     6.         Proposals not severable
                Without limiting any amendment or substitution permitted
                under the rules and orders of a House, a proposal must be
20              approved in the form in which it was laid and cannot be severed
                so that part only is approved or approval is given subject to
                conditions imposed by a House.
