The government of Western Australia has approved legislation to secure mining licenses and permits in the state, following a 2017 High Court ruling that had put mining permits at risk due to incomplete submissions. The legislation will be passed retrospectively to address the issue and prevent such scenarios in the future. The dispute stemmed from a legal battle involving Andrew Forrest of Fortescue Ltd., leading to companies having to resubmit mining plans to secure their permits.
