Alcoa Agrees with Australian Government to Modernize Mining Approval Framework
Alcoa announced Alcoa of Australia has agreed with the Australian Federal Government to further modernize the approvals framework for its Western Australian mining activities under Australia's federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Alcoa of Australia will undertake a strategic assessment of current and potential future mining areas through to 2045, supported by the Government's recent changes to the EPBC Act. The assessment will provide a holistic view of potential impacts to significant flora and fauna over a broad geographic area and will provide stakeholders with greater clarity about the long-term future of mining operations.
