Hi jogo,

The company has had access agreements for like 25 years.

The legislation sets out the factors the Minister must take into account.

Unless something has changed in terms of NTL, then the portal pad is still a mining site that cannot be further degraded and does not require the removal of vegetation.

Ergo, the existing access conditions cannot be changed at a whim because they are already a functional expression of the provisions of the Act. Ministerial decisions have to be reasonable or face the wrath of judicial review.
