Land Access Dispute Resolution Code

Under the Small Business Commissioner Act 2011, the State Government directed the Small Business Commissioner to develop prescribed industry codes of conduct. These relate to the Fair Trading Act 1987.

Developing industry codes aligns with the Government’s intention to create a fairer, competitive small business sector.

The sixth of these codes is the Fair Trading (Mining and Resources Industry Land Access Dispute Resolution Code) Regulations 2018, known as the Mining and Resources Industry Land Access Dispute Resolution Code.

This code gives farmers and resource companies the ability to access an enforceable, mandatory dispute resolution framework that assists in dealing with land access issues.
