Project title

Evaluating the mining industry’s view of their success in delivering a positive legacy for host communities at the time of mine closure

Host university

University of Western Australia

Supervisors: Professor Fiona Haslam McKenzie, Professor Allan Trench

Benefit to Western Australia

Liz’s research is providing 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.
