Notice of information about non-exploration mining operations

Form
The Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 requires information about commencement of non-exploration mining operations to be notified to the regulator.
Last updated:

No later than 45 days before the day on which mining operations commence at the mine, the person who is the prospective mine operator of the mine must give the regulator a notice (a mining commencement notice) about the commencement of the mining operation.

The person who becomes the mine operator of a mine when mining operations commence at the mine commits an offence if the mining operations commence without the person having complied with this.

Regulation 675UD of the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 requires information about commencement of additional mining operations to be notified to the regulator.

No later than 30 days before the day on which an additional mining operation commences at a mine, the mine operator of the mine must give the regulator a notice (an additional operations notice) about the additional mining operation.
