Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Professional experience
Land restoration & transition
TacminMadini’s land restoration and transition experience reflects sustained exposure to how land rehabilitation, restoration and transition decisions shape long-term land value, liability and stewardship outcomes for owners. Across regulated environments, this exposure highlights where restoration scope, sequencing and standards determine whether land is responsibly transitioned, enduring obligations are managed and legacy outcomes are protected over time. This governance perspective is grounded in historical land restoration and transition projects set out below, informing TacminMadini’s independent governance assurance over restoration strategy defensibility, transition control and the preservation of long-term land value, community trust and intergenerational stewardship under owner authority.
The land restoration and transition projects listed below reflect historical involvement across rehabilitation planning, technical assessment, design coordination and execution associated with disturbed land, legacy sites and operational land transitioning to post-use or alternative purposes. This work was undertaken in environments characterised by regulatory oversight, environmental sensitivity and high stakeholder and community expectations. Engagements involved direct exposure to land condition assessment, restoration scope definition, contractor interfaces, compliance management and handover requirements, where outcomes directly influenced residual liability, future land capability and long-term stewardship potential.
