Presentation Overview:  

Tenure is critical to post-mining land use planning in Western Australia.

The amendments include a range of benefits including the introduction of a new, non-exclusive leaseholder tenure, the diversification lease. Alison Gibson, Executive Director at Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will be presenting an overview of the new diversification lease, including what broadscale purposes the new tenure can be used for (including mine closure rehabilitation and post-mining uses), and its interaction with the Mining Act 1978.
