Mapping the Regulatory Environment
Led by Prof Brett Heyward, this project is on a mission to gain a practical understanding of Queensland's regulatory framework and industry practices, and how they impact the economic transformation of mining-affected land and communities. This fully funded initiative will: • Identify and map regulatory pathways and industry practices posing challenges to repurposing scenarios. • Uncover opportunities for establishing pilot/trial sites. • Gather insights from international experiences with innovative post-mining land use. • Provide recommendations for solutions to address these challenges. • Extend industry and regulator support to establish an enabling environment for innovative post-mining land use. Where are we now? We've completed numerous stakeholder meetings, including a workshop with industry and regulatory participants that revealed a multitude of factors influencing the feasibility of post-mining land use opportunities. Our research team has also kicked off several case studies covering various mining types and PMLU options, all aimed at further enriching our project findings. |
