Public searches for resource authorities
You can search for resource authority applications or grants details on your land and surrounding area by using our free public search service on this page.
Undermining search
Undermining searches available through GeoResGlobe will show any relevant records the department holds for historic mining activity related to a specified Lot on Plan. Note that our historic records relating to abandoned mines are incomplete and we cannot guarantee the reliability of this information.
You can find the lot on plan number:
- on your rates notice
- or
- online using the property and title search (just enter your address to find the property description).
We have created a help page to assist you to access abandoned mines layers and undertake an undermining search on GeoResGlobe.
