The first step of the process is for you to nominate the tenements for which you wish to pay rent and the amount you wish to pay. There is not a dollar ($) amount limitation imposed by the department when paying via this method.
Rental payments can be created in three ways:
1. To create a list of tenements for which you require rental to be paid select Make a Rental Payment.
Enter your tenement number within the 'Tenement Id:' box (e.g. M30/1). Select Add Tenement. To add additional tenements just perform this same step again. The tenements you have entered will appear in the list below.
Tenements added to the list can be removed by clicking the Remove button next to the Tenement Id or select Reset Payments to remove all tenements.
2. Tenements can also be added to the "Tenement Selection" list by moving the mouse pointer over any highlighted tenement Id within the Mineral Titles Online system and selecting Order Tenement Search from the context menu that will be displayed.
3. A bulk upload of tenements can also be added to the "Tenement Selection" list by using the "upload facility", on the "Step 1 - Tenement Selection" page.
The file containing the Tenement Id's needs to be
-
A comma separated text file (.csv).
-
The Tenement Id's are one per line.
-
The Tenement Id should be first on the line
Once the tenements have been selected the user can proceed to "Step 2 - Payment Method Selection", where you can pay for tenement rents by either Direct Debit or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Direct Debit: (DD) - Funds required for the rents nominated in Step 1 will be debited from your account. This method requires you to have registered an account with the Department. When you select this method, if you do not have an account registered, select the "Register a new Bank Account" button. If you have previously registered an account or multiple accounts, they will be displayed for selection. You can register another account by clicking "Register a new Bank Account".
Online rental payments made by Direct Debit will NOT be considered to have been paid until the funds have been debited from your account and as such will not be credited as rental payments against the nominated tenements until this time.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) - The EFT method requires that you transfer funds into the Departments nominated Bank Account. Details of this account and a reference number (which you must note on your payment) will be provided.
Online rental payments made by EFT will NOT be considered to have been paid until the funds are cleared into the department's account and as such will not be credited as rental payments against the nominated tenements until this time. If the funds are not received into the Department's account within three business days, the intended payment will be set to Failed.
Once the payment method has been completed select Next to proceed to Step 3 - Review screen where you can review and if required edit rent payment details. Select the Next button to proceed to Step 4.
The Step 4 - Signature screen is where you are then required to digitally sign as an acceptance of the declarations detailed before completing the online transaction. This is completed by clicking within the signature block. You can then select Next to proceed to Step 5 - Delivery.
In Step 5 you can nominate an email address in which you will receive confirmation of the completed transaction. The email address you provided at registration will display as the default however you can nominate a different email address without affecting your registration details. You can then select Submit to Department to complete the transaction. A Rent Payment Request Confirmation will be sent to your nominated email address which includes a Payment Reference Number which should be provided for any EFT payments.
