Sustainability Law and Policy for Resource Development

Sustainability is now a critical factor in the development of Australia’s mineral and energy resources as companies and regulators seek to balance the competing requirements of the environment, society and the economy. Industry participants and their lawyers need to have a clear understanding of the applicable rules in order to develop appropriate responses for investors, regulators and the public and to balance competing objectives for the present and the future. This workshop will give a clear understanding of those rules, including in mining, petroleum, climate change and environmental legislation and ASX reporting requirements. The workshop will provide practical examples enabling participants to apply the rules. The workshop is designed for lawyers and non-lawyers.

Full attendance at this short course entitles a practitioner up to 10 Legal CPD points. Points can be selected from Competency Area 1 (1 points available) and Competency Area 4 (16 points available) depending on the sessions they attend.

The workshop dates are: 24-25 July, 31 July and 01 August 2025.

The CPD rules differ for jurisdictions outside Western Australia and if you are outside Western Australia, we recommend that you check with your local relevant authority whether you can claim any CPD points.
