(1) to (12) The activities undertaken on Mining Lease 27/164 involved the construction of a safety bund referred to in the ?Notice of Intent for the Golden Feather Ballarat Last Chance Pit? and referred to in Condition 12 of the lease conditions. That document contains the commitment that, ?Vehicular Traffic will be restricted to site roads with all other tracks being bunded/fenced/ripped to prevent unauthorised access?.

Accordingly on 19 August 1999 a fine of $2,000 was imposed on the lessee which represented an appropriate penalty for the breach of conditions.
