In this episode, we take a look at government statistics related to the processing time for minerals, coal, petroleum and gas tenements and approvals. We discuss which jurisdictions are smashing it out of the park and those that could do with some improvement.

If you find statistics boring, don’t worry this isn’t a maths podcast! It’s not just about the numbers for us, either. We also discuss what the different jurisdictions are doing or have done to speed things up, dissect what we think is causing timeframes to blow out, the various challenges and complexity in this space, and suggest improvements.

As a tenement manager, having an understanding of these timeframes is vital to managing project timeline expectations, and we’re certain you will find this episode helpful.

If you are all about the numbers, you can find links to the statistics we discussed below:

In our first episode, we’ll start off by getting you acquainted with our newest host. Then, we’ll dive into our first topic of the season, navigating land access as a tenement manager.

Navigating the Resources Industry when you’re not a geologist or engineer can be intimidating. Let’s fix that.

Join these industry professionals as they demystify the practical, legal and procedural minefields needed for obtaining and maintaining the key assets of every exploration, mining and resources company. Dismantling the idea that tenement management or approvals is just an administrative ‘post box’ part of the process.

Their years of industry experience mean there is no shortage of stories covering many topics including native title and cultural heritage, to the challenges of working across jurisdictions and working with 'other' recognised professionals. There will be discussions about current issues affecting the industry, including how best to deal with them and information on industry highlights, legislative and policy changes, upcoming events and so much more.

Whether you're already an experienced tenement, land access or regulatory approvals professional or you’ve wasted thousands of hours and dollars elsewhere trying to grasp these concepts with little success, you’ll find something of value here. Remember, Title is Vital and we won't let the truth get in the way of a good story!
