Compulsory and voluntary partial surrenders

WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety

If you are a mining title holder, it is important to know the difference between a compulsory and a voluntary surrender.

Whether a tenement is surrendered voluntarily or compulsorily, understanding when to lodge and what is required is critical to ensuring the tenure is compliant under the Mining Act 1978. It is also important to know that any voluntary partial surrenders may relate to a title holder's compulsory partial surrender requirements.

The Title Compliance Branch is responsible for administering post grant title administration compliance.

The Compulsory and Voluntary Partial Surrenders table below aims to break down the two surrender types and answer some of the common questions title holders may have about the differences.
