As one of Australia’s key industries, the mining sector is one of Accent’s major clients. We work with mines and mining companies to ensure the best environmental practices are adhered to at all stages of mine life: planning, construction, operation, expansions and variations, decommissioning and rehabilitation. 

Accent has undertaken work with mines in NT, WA, SA, VIC, NSW and QLD and overseas. Our personnel are considered to be environmental experts in the field of mining and have also been engaged by legal firms and government agencies. We aim to ensure a high standard of environmental consideration throughout the mining process.

Some of our recent projects include:

• Development of a residual risk cost tool for the Queensland resources industry, Queensland Treasury Corporation
