Mining decisions and licences public register

A new public register is being developed as part of the new environmental (mining) licensing framework.

Under the Environment Protection Act 2019, the Northern Territory Government must keep a public register of:

• details of authorised mining activities deemed to hold an environmental (mining) licence
• approved environmental (mining) licences
• certain decisions.

The current registers provide a summary of approved mine, extractive mineral and exploration sites:

• authorised mine, extractive and mineral exploration sites PDF (111.7 KB)
• authorised mine, extractive and mineral exploration sites XLSX (69.7 KB).

Mining management plans

Approved mining management plans (MMPs) and authorisations granted under the former Mining Management Act 2001 are called deemed licences and form part of the licensing framework.

You can access some exploration project MMPs and mining project MMPs on the Department of Lands, Planning and Environment website.

If you can’t find information about a particular mining activity in the NT, email mineralinfo.dlpe@nt.gov.au.
