Mining activities require an environmental authority (under the Environmental Protection Act 1994) to be issued before the activity can be carried out.
The environmental authority imposes conditions aimed at ensuring that potential environmental harm is minimised or mitigated.
The public have an opportunity to provide feedback on environmental authority applications and this information is taken into consideration by DERM during the assessment process.
