DMP Stakeholder Forum for New Mining Proposal Guideline – 28 March 2017 (Kalgoorlie)

Stakeholder Forum for New Mining Proposal Guideline – March 2017 (Perth)

The Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) released the new Guideline for Mining Proposals in April 2016. The new guideline introduces a risk and outcome based regulatory framework for Mining Proposals and is compulsory for all new projects from 1 January 2017.

On 22 and 24 February 2017 and 9 March 2017 DMP is holding Stakeholder Forums in Perth to discuss and workshop the key aspects of the new Guideline. A Stakeholder Forum was also held in Kalgoorlie on 28 February 2017.

DMP will be holding an additional forum in Kalgoorlie on 28 March 2017.

The aim of the Stakeholder Forums will be to provide additional information and examples of risk assessments and environmental outcomes, share learnings from the first assessments undertaken, and to engage in a discussion about the Department’s expectations for the new Guideline and how DMP will undertake assessment. The scope and the agenda of the forums are focused on larger scale mining operations. The Department is planning for additional stakeholder forums to focus on smaller scale operations and DMP will provide further details of these in coming weeks. A detailed agenda will be distributed prior to the events.

Further information on the new Guideline is available on the DMP website:
