Streamline WA has formed a think tank to explore reform ideas and develop priorities for improving the environmental approval process for mining projects.
Taking place on 23 August 2019, the one-day collaborative think tank will bring together representatives from state and local government, industry, business, and environmental conservation.
The think tank will examine ways to improve approval timeframes and reduce information duplication and overlap of regulatory requirements across the environmental approval process to deliver practical and effective reform.
Specific reform pain points will be assessed and prioritised by the think tank for the consideration of the Streamline WA Steering Committee before further development and implementation.
Streamline WA is a whole of government initiative to make it easier to do business by improving regulation and regulatory practice.
Launched on 6 December 2018, Streamline WA is one of the WA Government’s Public Sector Reform initiatives to deliver better services and outcomes for Western Australians.
Streamline WA is led by a Steering Committee, which is co-chaired by the department’s Director General David Smith, and Mike Rowe, Director General of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Both departments are working collaboratively with input from the Department of Treasury to provide project direction, and project and secretariat support.
