The Governor of NSW can create Mineral Allocation Areas (MAAs) for any mineral group under the Mining Regulation 2016. These areas prevent new exploration licence applications for the affected mineral group(s) in the area without Ministerial consent. Reporting and renewal requirements for existing mineral titles within each MAA are unaffected.
