Project title
A new deal between mining companies and communities to deliver sustained positive development outcomes for Indigenous or land-connected communities
Host university
University of Western Australia
Supervisors: Professor Fiona Haslam McKenzie, Professor Allan Trench
Benefit to Western Australia
Liz’s research will provide an important foundation to consent-based relationships between mining companies and indigenous communities affected by mining. By delivering better understanding of how mining projects can contribute to improved sustainable development outcomes, this work could support positive negotiations for land access agreements and help with long-term planning for positive social development legacies post mine closure.
