Join this webinar for a deep dive into the proposed changes to the Eligible Mining Activity (EMA) Framework in Western Australia.

Recently, the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) introduced the EMA framework, a new form of authorisation as part of the Mining Amendment Act 2022. EMAs are designed for certain minimal disturbance and low impact activities which can be automatically authorised and does not require environmental assessment by an Environmental Officer.

DEMIRS has since revised the criteria for an EMA in its draft EMA Regulations, specifying permitted and prohibited activities, conditions and requirements under an EMA Notice and other critical aspects. The draft regulation is currently open for consultation.

This webinar, co-hosted by EIANZ and NELA, will delve into the potential impacts of these proposed changes on prospecting and exploration activities within the mining industry. Speakers for this webinar will provide an overview of the draft EMA Regulation, detail the prescribed conditions, and provide an analysis on the broader industry implications of the proposed regulation amendment. Come along to this insightful session to ensure you stay ahead in the evolving mining regulatory landscape.

Note this event will run off Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
