DMP’s plan for success launched
Wednesday, 21 October 2009
The Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) has successfully launched its Strategic Plan for 2009 to 2012.
Entitled, Our Plan for Success 2009 to 2012, the plan outlines the department’s vision and priorities and has been developed through extensive consultation with government, staff and stakeholders.
DMP’s Director General said the plan would help Western Australia to be positioned as a destination of choice for resources exploration and development.
He said key priorities outlined in the plan included improving the approvals process for resources projects, creating a best practice model for mining safety, encouraging exploration in under-explored areas of the State, and development of new regulatory frameworks.
“Over the next three years the department will continue to review and evaluate the Strategic Plan to ensure it reflects State Government expectations, and is aligned with DMP’s key role of servicing the future development of the State’s resources industry,” Mr Sellers said.
“The plan will help to ensure the resources sector continues to grow to maximise long-term benefits to the community,” Mr Sellers said.
Since the department’s establishment on 1 January 2009, DMP has taken on the role as the State’s lead agency in attracting private investment in resources exploration and development.
The Strategic Plan expresses the mission, values, key strategies, and success measures across the department’s two main service areas of resources sector and dangerous goods regulation, and geoscience information and advice.
Minister for Mines and Petroleum Norman Moore officially opened the Strategic Plan launch event for staff. Presentations were also given by DMP’s Director General Richard Sellers, Executive Director of Resources Safety Malcolm Russell, and DMP’s Deputy Director General Stedman Ellis.
