NEW GUIDANCE – New Guidance on environmental non-compliance and incident reporting released by WA Government

The Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) has released a guidance note on environmental non-compliance and incident reporting.

The purpose of the new guidance note is to provide information to the resources industry and general community on environmental non-compliance and incident reporting requirements under legislation administered by DMIRS.

The guidance note also outlines what enforcement processes may be undertaken by DMIRS in the event of non-compliance.  It replaces the Environment Division’s Process for Non-Compliance with Mining Act 1978 Tenement Conditions.
