- Ensure that resource consent decision-making enables communities, whānau, hapū and iwi to protect areas of historical, archaeological and/or cultural significance from mining.
- Ensure that the costs associated with the entire lifecycle of the operations remain with the operators, to minimise the risk that the public has to pay clean-up costs when mining operations cause pollution.
- Consistent with the urgency and necessity of limiting global heating to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, establish a clear timeframe for phasing out coal, oil and gas extraction.
- Prohibit new exploration, prospecting, and mining on or under all public conservation land.
- Proactively resource and facilitate the maximum recovery and recycling of available materials to reduce the need for extraction.
