EnviroMac Newsletter: ISSUE 14 / june 2014

Dear clients and subscribers

This month’s edition features amongst others amendments to the NEM:WA which has been the subject of further news flashes during the past month and also amendments to the NWA. Much anticipated in this regard are the amendments aimed at aligning applications in respect of mining operation with the processes and procedures in terms of the MPRDA. As expected however, a simple tweak to the NWA will not do the trick and the amendments are in our view yet again more of a wish list, than practical measures to streamline the process of authorising mining operations.

Kind regards
Kenneth Cameron
