The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) and the Department of Finance’s RevenueWA are continuing to work together to transfer DEMIRS’ mining and petroleum royalty administration and collection functions to RevenueWA. This aligns with the approach taken by other jurisdictions to move their royalty administration functions to their revenue offices.
The transfer will integrate the existing knowledge and expertise of DEMIRS’ royalty administration and collection functions with RevenueWA’s information technology systems, knowledge, and information sharing networks. We expect this will occur in the second half of 2025.
Until the legislative amendments and system changes are finalised, there will be no change to current royalty lodgment and payment arrangements.
We will inform stakeholders before the formal transition is finalised.
