Energy and Mining on the Limestone Coast

Have you been impacted by mining, quarrying, or energy projects, or do you have concerns about future projects? If so, we want to hear from you.

If you're living or working in the Limestone Coast community, the Department for Energy and Mining is asking for your feedback and concerns about the impacts of mining and energy projects in the region.

We recognise that energy and mining projects can come with material impacts to the communities who live close by. Understanding how you may have been impacted, and any concerns you may have about future projects in the region, helps us to plan for the future and ensure we are well-placed to deliver best practice regulatory services to the community.

Background

The Department for Energy and Mining responsibly unlocks the state’s mineral and energy resources by:

• sharing geological data and insights,
• accelerating discoveries,
• attracting sustainable investment, and
• overseeing a leading regulatory framework.

Agriculture, mining and quarrying are key drivers of employment and economic value in South Australia's regions. We want to support regional communities by ensuring the safe, secure, stable and well-regulated expansion of energy and mining across the state.

We are committed to understanding the needs and values of those impacted by mining and energy operations, to ensure we are positioned to deliver best practice regulatory services to South Australia.
