The South Australian Department for Energy and Mining is reviewing the Mining Act 1971 and seeking feedback on a range of proposed improvements to strengthen the state’s regulatory framework.
At AMETS, we welcome this opportunity to support an open and modernised approach to mineral exploration and development—one that aligns with environmental, community, and industry expectations.
Key focus areas of the review include:
• Mineral exploration tenure
• How existing Native Title rights and interests are reflected in the Act
• Regulation of private mines
• Operational and technical amendments
Public consultation is now open via the YourSAy platform. This is a vital opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to shaping a sustainable and competitive future for mining in South Australia.
