Welcome back to another season of Tenement Talk - Season 3 is now here.

In our debut episode for Season 3, we swear we had a theme… and then promptly ignored it. We dive into Approvals, debate the eternal battle of in-house vs. consultant, and ask the big questions—like whether Queensland is secretly inspiring an “overlapping” regime in WA (and should we be worried?).

Oh, and we might just uncover the industry’s best-kept secret: are Tenement Managers actually the engine room of mining—or just the over-caffeinated mechanics keeping it running?

Tune in, laugh a little, and maybe even learn something (no promises).

In the complex world of resource development, staying compliant isn’t just good practice — it’s essential. In this episode, we dive into how to proactively avoid non-compliance in tenure management and approvals across the resources sector.

From aligning your systems and workflows, to building a culture of accountability and clear communication, we unpack the critical elements that keep your projects on track and regulators on side. We also explore the nuances across jurisdictions and how understanding local regulatory landscapes can make or break your compliance strategy.

Whether you’re managing tenements, leading approvals, or overseeing project governance, this episode delivers practical insights to keep your operations secure, efficient, and compliant.

🎧 Tune in to get ahead of the risks — and build a stronger foundation for your resource projects.

In this episode, we take a look at government statistics related to the processing time for minerals, coal, petroleum and gas tenements and approvals. We discuss which jurisdictions are smashing it out of the park and those that could do with some improvement.

If you find statistics boring, don’t worry this isn’t a maths podcast! It’s not just about the numbers for us, either. We also discuss what the different jurisdictions are doing or have done to speed things up, dissect what we think is causing timeframes to blow out, the various challenges and complexity in this space, and suggest improvements.

As a tenement manager, having an understanding of these timeframes is vital to managing project timeline expectations, and we’re certain you will find this episode helpful.

If you are all about the numbers, you can find links to the statistics we discussed below:

Well, it’s been a hot minute, but we’re back for season 2 of the Tenement Talk Podcast!

In our first episode, we’ll start off by getting you acquainted with our newest host. Then, we’ll dive into our first topic of the season, navigating land access as a tenement manager. For those following along at home, we touched on this topic in Season 1. However, in this episode, we take you on a deep dive with a focus on what you need to know as a third-party contractor for a resource company.

As you can tell, our passion for Tenement Management continues, and we can’t wait to share our thoughts on a number of exciting topics in the episodes to come!

Navigating the Resources Industry when you’re not a geologist or engineer can be intimidating. Let’s fix that.

Join these industry professionals as they demystify the practical, legal and procedural minefields needed for obtaining and maintaining the key assets of every exploration, mining and resources company. Dismantling the idea that tenement management or approvals is just an administrative ‘post box’ part of the process.

Their years of industry experience mean there is no shortage of stories covering many topics including native title and cultural heritage, to the challenges of working across jurisdictions and working with 'other' recognised professionals. There will be discussions about current issues affecting the industry, including how best to deal with them and information on industry highlights, legislative and policy changes, upcoming events and so much more.

Whether you're already an experienced tenement, land access or regulatory approvals professional or you’ve wasted thousands of hours and dollars elsewhere trying to grasp these concepts with little success, you’ll find something of value here. Remember, Title is Vital and we won't let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Well, folks, you've made it to the final episode of the series! We’ve had a blast talking all things Tenement Management and we hope you enjoyed it too!

In this final episode, our passion for Tenement Management continues, where we have a good old-fashioned yarn about the actual process of managing tenements, managing your stakeholder expectations and the various challenges you’ll likely face along the way. If you’ve been in the game for a while, I’m sure you’ll relate to the struggles and the successes, and if you’re new, I hope you learn something useful through our experiences.

We have barely scratched the surface of what Tenement Management is all about and hope to share more soon.

While we’re not sure when we’ll be back on the pod, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn, where we will continue to provide insights and useful industry updates.

And if for some reason we don’t see you again, thanks for coming on this journey with us and if you take away nothing else, remember to respect the process because Title is Vital!
