The Stronger Partners Stronger Futures (SPSF) program was established in 2016 to review interactions between explorers and native title groups for land access, with a focus on improving the operation of Part 9B—Native title land of the Mining Act 1971.
The program concluded in 2020. The Stronger Partners Stronger Futures Final Report sets out the measures the Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) put in place in the Mining Act 1971 and regulations in response to stakeholders' concerns about land access with a particular focus on solutions to improve early engagement for low impact exploration.
DEM will monitor the progress of existing reforms and continue to identify opportunities to improve interaction between native title rights, Aboriginal heritage and mineral exploration on an ongoing basis.
