Company or to which it is entitled to a lease pursuant to the Iron

Ore (Hamersley Range) Agreement Act of 1963;

then subject to subclause 4 of this Clause the State after consulting with

Hamersley Iron Pty. Ltd. and the Company will cause to be surveyed at the cost

of the Company the route which the State considers would be most practicable

and convenient.

(2) As soon as practicable after the completion of that survey and

subject to the payment by the Company of all incidental costs and expenses

including the cost and expense of any necessary acquisition or resumption of

lands over which the route passes the State shall cause to be granted to the

Company a lease easement or license (whichever is most appropriate in the

circumstances) over the surveyed route (exclusive of any part which is a public

road), on such terms as are reasonably required to give effect to the objects and

provisions of this Agreement and to ensure compliance with the conditions (if

any) upon which Hamersley Iron Pty. Ltd. approved of the grant and thereafter

easement or license.

roadway or apparatus as the case may be.

(4) Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained the State shall

have no obligations to cause a survey to be made or grant a lease, easement or

license under this Clause insofar as to do so would be inconsistent with the

obligations of the State and the rights of Hamersley Iron Pty. Ltd. pursuant to

the Iron Ore (Hamersley Range) Agreement Act of 1963, or would

unreasonably prejudice or interfere with the general requirements of the State in

regard to the use of the area for public purposes or industrial development.

At the reasonable request of the Company from time to time the Minister

shall recommend to the Governor in Executive Council that he make alter or
