The Resources Regulator within NSW Resources, is responsible for compliance and enforcement functions across NSW's mining sector.
The primary focus of the Regulator is to regulate compliance with work health and safety legislation and the Mining Act, including mine rehabilitation obligations, on NSW mine and petroleum sites. This includes open-cut and underground mines, petroleum sites, quarries and extractive operations, tourist mines, opal and other small scale mines, and mining exploration activities.
