EARS Online
EARS is now a legacy system. It may still be used to access and track the status of historical environmental applications.
New environmental submissions, including Programme of Works (PoW), Eligible Mining Activity (EMA), Mine Closure Plan (MCP), Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP), Environment Plan (EP) and Oil Spill Contingency Plan (OSCP) must be lodged through Resources Online.
Mining Development and Closure Proposals for Mining Lease applications cannot be submitted via EARS Online or Resources Online. These must be posted or handed in at a Mining Registrar office.
