Stay updated with the roll-Out, implications and expectations of the risk-based approach to WA’s Environmental Impact Assessment

IQPC’s Environmental Management in Mining conference has returned for 2010, in time to equip you with the essential updates you need to ensure you are aware of the structural and administrative changes ahead.

In February, stay informed as Western Australia moves towards a risk based approval system that provides a balance of social, economic and environmental needs.

Come February, our speakers will be prepared to share their latest developments in adopting a risk-based approach in the EIA Process, as well as…

  • Employing an outcomes-based, rather than a prescriptive approach when setting conditions in the EIA process
  • Simplifying current levels of assessment
  • Making greater use of Strategic Environmental Assessment in the EIA process to promote streamlining of proposals
  • Seeking to improve the capacity of the EPA to identify, understand and control the range of environmental issues, risks and impacts associated with development proposals

What will you take out of this event?

You will have the opportunity to speak directly with the key government contacts that impact on your planning through their legislation. Plus, you will hear the latest changes to legislation so that you can implement strategies to meet government criteria in order to achieve sustainable mining.

If you are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the integrity of the EIA process – without diminishing the environmental outcome
  • Actively and constructively participating in the review process

…then you cannot afford to miss this event!

Past Delegates Share Their Experiences

It was a great summary of issues for environmental management. It was good to see creative ideas go beyond compliance, such as water sharing for closed mine sites.
Matt Griffiths, Environmental Advisor, Rio Tinto
Very valuable. Gave me insights into what is being done in environmental management that I hadn’t known.
