The Resources Regulator has published its Compliance Priorities for July to December 2025, establishing key compliance priorities for the next six months. These priorities are aimed at achieving ongoing safety and sustainability of the mining industry in NSW.
The compliance priorities for July to December 2025 include addressing the risk of conveyor fires in underground coal mines and underground emergency exits.
For quarries, the Regulator will focus on the management of entanglement risks with rotating parts, principal hazard management plans and principal control plans.
The Regulator will continue its focus on implementing the regulatory framework to minimise the impact of mining on the environment, so mine rehabilitation benefits future generations. This will include undertaking targeted assessment programs for mine rehabilitation, which will include revegetation, landform establishment, and decommissioning.
