SUBMISSIONS ON THE DRAFT MINE COMMUNITY RESETTLEMENT GUIDELINES, 2019

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted comments and proposed amendments to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy regarding the draft Mine Community Resettlement Guidelines, 2019. The CER expressed concern that the public commenting period coincided with the festive season, which they argue compromised the public participation process by hindering engagement with clients and partners.

• The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) argues that the timing of the commenting period for the draft Mine Community Resettlement Guidelines, 2019, was contrary to the principles of public participation because it largely occurred during the festive season when offices were closed. This timing made it difficult for the CER to engage meaningfully with partners and clients, especially given other draft legislation published at the same time.
• The CER provided its specific feedback and proposed amendments to the draft Mine Community Resettlement Guidelines, 2019, in the form of a table enclosed with their letter to the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.
