8.3.1  Grant of lease

(a)  Where the private party can demonstrate it is more appropriate given the project structure and it represents better value for money for government to grant a lease during the operating term, as opposed to a licence, then government may choose to grant a lease from the completion of the works to the private party. Unless otherwise specified the lease will be limited to use of the land solely for the purpose of undertaking the project activities in accordance with the project agreement.

(b)  Any lease will be subject to reservations enabling government to access and use the facility to exercise its rights under the project agreement and for any other lawful purpose.
