The ask
Mining operations in Western Australia operate under complex and evolving environmental conditions of approval.
With multiple tenures, legacy issues, and remote operations, many mining companies struggle to maintain full compliance across bushfire planning, weed management, and offset commitments - particularly with increased scrutiny from regulators.
What we did
ERS developed an integrated compliance assurance model to support mining operators in identifying, tracking, and fulfilling their environmental obligations.
Our approach combines regulatory expertise with operational practicality, including compliance gap assessments, UAV-based surveillance, risk mitigation strategies, and advisory on alignment with environmental approval conditions. Tailored frameworks are designed, ready for activation across key sites.
What we achieved
By partnering with mining clients early and developing a comprehensive environmental obligation model, ERS helps pre-empt risks, ensure approvals are respected and overall reduce compliance burdens.
The model also supports smoother engagement with regulators with compliance obligations met on time and as requested, better environmental outcomes, and stronger ESG positioning for the business.
Results
Clear compliance roadmaps aligned to approval conditions
Early risk identification and reporting workflow
Timely implementation of activities, like bushfire planning and weed monitoring
