Mine Project Approval Boundary

The Project Approval Boundary spatial data set provides information on the location of the project approvals granted for each mine in NSW by an approval authority (either NSW Department of Planning or local Council). This information may not align to the mine authorisation (i.e. mine title etc) granted under the Mining Act 1992. This information is created and submitted by each large mine operator to fulfill the Final Landuse and Rehabilitation Plan data submission requirements required under Schedule 8A of the Mining Regulation 2016.

The collection of this spatial data is administered by the Resources Regulator in NSW who conducts reviews of the data submitted for assessment purposes. In some cases, information provided may contain inaccuracies that require adjustment following the assessment process by the Regulator. The Regulator will request data resubmission if issues are identified.

Further information on the reporting requirements associated with mine rehabilitation can be found at https://www.resourcesregulator.nsw.gov.au/rehabilitation/mine-rehabilitation.
