The Mining Amendment (Transfer of Royalty Administration) Act 2025 (No. 7 of 2025) introduces several changes to the Mining Act 1978 in Western Australia. These amendments aim to enhance tenure security, streamline administrative processes, resolve legal ambiguities, modernize legislative language, and incorporate lessons from significant legal precedents. One key change is the increased flexibility in exploration licenses, allowing companies to remove areas from their applications.
