Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) Checklist

Form
This checklist is to assist tenement holders during operational mine planning to determine if mining activities proposed are likely to require the submission and assessment of a MDCP.
Last updated:

It includes a non-exhaustive list of circumstances that may trigger the requirement for submission and assessment of a MDCP. Although this is intended as a planning document for tenement holders and operators internal use, a completed checklist can be provided to the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) if further clarification is required.

Please review Sections 103AL and 103AM of the Mining Act 1978 (Mining Act), which outline the conditions for mining operations on land subject to mining leases, general purpose leases and miscellaneous licences as it relates to MDCPs and Approval Statements.

If you require further clarification from DMPE as to whether a MDCP is required, please fill out the summary of proposed activities below and email the completed form to the relevant regional Team Leader (Environment Contacts).
