OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
Tenement management is a complex and time-consuming process with deadlines and compliance requirements, legislative restrictions, notifications, agreements and more to manage.

We can support you in handling all aspects of tenure compliance, new tenement applications, renewals, partial and complete surrenders, technical report writing, and more.

Save you money by ensuring your rents are paid on time and exploration and work commitments are pitched at industry standards and not beyond

Ensure security of your tenures
-
De-risk and speed up your application and approval processes

Advise you in advance of data requirements expected by government

Support you with a comprehensive range of tenement management, environmental compliance, native title and cultural heritage, and land access services.
