This Act regulates the removal of sand on State lands. “Sand” includes stones, coral, earth and turf. The Minister may designate sand quarries and sand landing places. No sand removed from the sea or from a river shall be landed except at a sand landing place. No person shall carry on the business of dealer in sand unless he or she is the holder of a licence granted under section 5. The Minister may grant a lease of a sand quarry to a licensed dealer for such term and upon such conditions as he or she thinks fit (sect. 6). No person shall remove or cause any sand to be removed other than from a sand quarry or sand landing place and only in accordance with a permit issued in accordance with section 9 (sects. 7 to 9). Other provisions regulate the transport of sand and the sale of sand, define powers of enforcement and regulation making powers of the Minister, and prescribe offences. (18 sections)
