In preparation for the Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) and Approvals Statement framework coming into effect in September, the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) will be holding two online briefing sessions for industry stakeholders.
This is an opportunity to hear from our project team on the key changes under the new framework and the transition strategy for mining operations with existing mining approvals. Stakeholders will also have an opportunity to ask specific questions on the MDCP guidelines and implementation.
