        2.                A class approval may be subject to conditions including but not limited to (and depending on the class of activities):

          1.       specifying the area in which, and the periods during which, the approved activity or class of activities may be conducted;

          2.       requiring the impacts of the authorised activity to be mitigated by specified actions developed in consultation with the Director;

          3.       consultation with relevant Christmas Island community members and/or organisations;

          4.       the provision of, or consent for access to, data for compliance and monitoring purposes;

          5.       making results of data collection, research and monitoring available to the Director (and in a specific format where relevant) and relevant stakeholders;

          6.         requiring reporting or auditing;

          7.       complying with other Commonwealth, state or territory laws and authorisations issued under such laws;

          8.       requiring, restricting or prohibiting the use of specified gear, equipment or practices; and

          9.         allowing for the Director or representative to board vessels, accompany tours or enter premises for the purpose of evaluating compliance with class approval conditions.

        3.                A class approval may be varied, suspended, or cancelled, and approval conditions may be varied or revoked, or further conditions applied by the Director. Generally, such a decision will be made in response to new information relevant to the activity and in consultation with the relevant person or class of persons.

        4.                Class approval conditions may be varied or revoked, or have further conditions applied, if the Director is satisfied that it is necessary or appropriate to do so for the efficient or effective management of the activities to which the approval relates.

        5.                A class approval may be varied to remove a person from the class of approved persons at the request of that person or if the Director is satisfied that the person has breached a condition of the approval.

Note: Where a person has been removed from a class approval, they may apply for a permit under Section 4.5.1 (Permits) or an activity licence under Section 4.5.3 (Activity licences and leases).

     1.      Activity licences and leases

An activity licence or lease may be issued to authorise an activity where it is more appropriate than the use of a permit or class approval, such as for activities that involve the installation of infrastructure for the exclusive use of a commercial operation. Licences and leases are transferable and generally granted for a longer term than permits. They may include agreed fees reflecting the commercial value of the authorisation and, in the case of leases, provide security of tenure over an area to support investment in infrastructure.
