56  After subsection 11(1D)
Insert:
 (1E) If:
 (a) a petroleum production licence has been granted on the basis that an area (the relevant area) is within the offshore area of a State or the Northern Territory; and
 (b) as a result of a change to the boundary of the coastal waters of the State or Territory, the relevant area:
 (i) ceases to be within the offshore area of the State or Territory; and
 (ii) falls within the coastal waters of the State or Territory; and
 (c) immediately before the change, the relevant area was a part of the licence area;
then, in determining what constitutes the renewal, or the grant of a renewal, of the licence, item 3 of the table in subsection (1) has effect as if:
 (d) the licence had been varied to exclude from the licence area any area that is not within the offshore area of the State or Territory; and
 (e) the variation had taken effect immediately after the change.
Note: This means that an application for renewal of the licence may be made, and the licence may be renewed, as if the licence had been so varied.
 (1F) For the purposes of subsection (1E):
 (a) disregard section 283; and
 (b) it is immaterial whether the change occurred before, at or after the commencement of this subsection.
