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

Introduced in 2022 by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS), the Eligible Mining Activity Framework in WA enables certain minimal disturbance and low impact activities to be automatically authorised without an environmental assessment.

DEMIRS has since revised the criteria for an EMA in its draft EMA Regulations, which specify 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 will provide an overview of the draft EMA Regulations, 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).
