When to use it
Use when a client takes on a NSW authority, after any variation of conditions, and at the start of each year, so every fee, return, report and deadline has an owner and a date. Populate it from the authority, the conditions and the notices actually received.
Used for these tasks
- Summarise mining tenement conditions into a compliance calendar
- Build a work-programme and expenditure-commitment tracker from the title
- Prepare the annual tenement reporting and expenditure return
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may populate the calendar from the authority, its conditions and the fee and levy notices inside an approved template; the responsible person checks each entry against the source when the calendar is set up and after any change.
AI may
- Extract every dated obligation from the authority's conditions, work program and notices
- Populate the calendar with the obligation, source, due date, owner and reminder dates
- Flag conditions with no date or an ambiguous trigger for the lawyer to resolve
AI must not
- Must not infer a due date that the authority, the regulations or a notice does not state
- Must not drop a condition because it has no date; list it as a standing obligation
- Must not treat the calendar as a substitute for reading new notices and conditions
The lawyer checks
- Every condition of the authority appears in the calendar, with its source
- Dates come from the authority, the regulations or a notice on file
- The calendar is updated after any variation, renewal, transfer or new notice
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
