SUBMISSIONS ON THE DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO THE MINERAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, 2019

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted a letter to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy on 31 January 2020, providing comments and proposed amendments to the Draft Amendments to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Regulations, 2019. The CER criticized the timing of the public comment period, stating it occurred during the festive season, which hindered their ability to engage with clients and partners and compromised the public participation process.

• The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) argues that the public commenting period for the Draft Amendment to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Regulations was poorly timed, as it coincided with the festive season when offices were closed. This timing limited the CER's ability to meaningfully engage with partners and clients and is viewed as contrary to the principles of public participation.
