Revocation of quarry permit

(1) A quarry permit may be revoked by the Inspector on the advice of a Lands Officer80 (a) if it appears that the holder has not worked in his Registered Quarry site for a period exceeding ninety days; (b) for any serious accident to livestock or persons; or (c) for conviction for any breach of the laws governing the employment of labour. (2) The recording of a Registered Quarry site may be cancelled by the Inspector at the end of any calendar year if the site or land in its vicinity is required for a public purpose or other development, and further mining would be detrimental to the development of the locality. All mining therein shall thereupon cease. (3) No compensation shall be payable to the permit holder, nor shall he be called upon to make good the ground within his Registered Quarry site, but he shall have ninety days in which to remove his stocks of mineral, machinery and other structures, after which time anything remaining on the site shall be the property of the Government.
