As Western Australia’s lead agency regulating the State’s resources sector, the department is committed to ensuring the sector is developed and managed responsibly and sustainably for the benefit of all Western Australians.
The annual Resources Sector Awards for Excellence was established by the department to demonstrate and acknowledge that our nationally significant industry is not only sustainable, but also achieves the environmental and community balance expected of industry today.
The Resources Sector Awards for Excellence brings together the prestigious environmental Golden Gecko Award and the Community Partnership Resources Sector Award.
By recognising exceptional advances and innovations throughout the resources sector, the department seeks to encourage higher industry standards to help develop and maintain community confidence in mineral and petroleum activities.
The Resource Sector Awards for Excellence ceremony will not take place in 2023 as there were no successful nominations. The department would like to thank the applicants who submitted this year.
Why enter the Awards for Excellence?
