BENEFITS OF ‘FLEXI’

or surrender).

Externally Information on status of applications is available on Map Portal for public Option for tenement holders to manage obligations directly is available

(e.g.report submissions and rental payments) Improved transparency of mineral tenement applications Collaboration with other government agencies is improved (e.g. OCCD/JICA,

landuse mapping project).

CHALLENGES

• Internet dependent • Cloud solution is therefore vital for when online

applications.

• Needs commitment from associates to ensure data is up to date.• Incorporated performance management framework.

• Lack of legislation supporting online application option.

• Needs all tenement holders to use to refine.
