Purpose
Minerals and petroleum production data for local government areas in Western Australia are a by-product of the royalties collection process.
Method of collection
Under legislation, mining lease holders in Western Australia who have recorded production are required to submit a production report to the Department of Minerals and Energy (Western Australia) each month, and a royalty return to the Department each quarter.
The same applies to petroleum production licence holders, except that both production reports and royalty returns are submitted monthly.
