The Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME) wrote to Prime Minister Albanese on 14 June 2024 regarding concerns about Stage 2 Nature Positive legislation reforms currently before Parliament. CME, representing Western Australia's resources sector, noted that WA projects comprise 72 per cent of Australia's committed resources projects ($55.9 billion), account for 64 per cent of resources exports, and host over half of Australia's major critical minerals projects. While CME expressed support for environmental reforms that improve outcomes and processing efficiencies, the letter indicates the industry body sought to influence the legislative approach to EPBC Act reforms. The document reveals industry engagement with government during the nature positive reform process but does not disclose the substantive content of CME's specific concerns or recommendations regarding the proposed bills.
