Closure verification | TacminMadini

Closure Verification & Land Transition provides independent governance assurance that closure and land transition outcomes meet environmental, regulatory and long-term land obligations. Through verification, land condition assessment and transition planning, it supports owner reliance on rehabilitation or recovery outcomes under audit and regulatory scrutiny. Beyond compliance, it provides assurance on long-term land capability, residual risk and future use, enabling defensible transition decisions, reduced residual liability and confident progression to sign-off while protecting long-term land value and legacy.

Why it matters	Regulators and communities expect verifiable evidence that closure and land transition commitments have been met. Without independent assurance, there is risk of non-compliance, delayed regulatory acceptance and increased long-term liability. Assured verification preserves credibility, supports defensible decisions and reduces dispute potential under ongoing scrutiny.
Our focus	We independently assure environmental performance, land condition and closure or transition outcomes against approved plans and regulatory requirements. Compliance data, monitoring results and audit evidence are tested and validated to provide confidence in sign-off readiness and long-term land obligations, without assuming operational monitoring roles.
Outcome	Clear, defensible assurance of closure and land transition outcomes that supports regulatory approval, reduces residual liability and strengthens stakeholder confidence in the integrity of rehabilitation, recovery and land stewardship outcomes.

Closure verification & land transition

Assuring closure outcomes and enabling responsible land transition.

OUR FOCUS AREAS

Environmental & Compliance Verification

Residual Risk & Liability Assessment

Land Capability & Future Use Assessment

Handover & Transition Planning

Why it matters	Unidentified or unmitigated residual risks, environmental, geotechnical or land-use related, can become enduring liabilities for owners. Without independent assurance of residual risk, closure or land transition may shift exposure rather than resolve it, leaving organisations vulnerable to ongoing monitoring obligations, remediation requirements or reputational risk.
Our focus	We assure residual risk and liability through structured evaluation of land behaviour, environmental impacts and the durability of closure or transition outcomes. Findings are assessed against regulatory, ESG and long-term land stewardship expectations to support defensible handover, liability management and future land decisions.
Outcome	Clear visibility of residual exposure and greater certainty around long-term liability, enabling owners to transition land confidently, limit enduring obligations and demonstrate accountable stewardship under regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny.

Why it matters	Closure and land transition success is not only about compliance, but about viable long-term land capability. Without assurance over future-use assumptions, transition decisions may be misaligned with land condition, environmental constraints or community expectations, creating avoidable risk, cost and stakeholder dissatisfaction.
Our focus	We assure land capability and future-use assessments by testing land condition, constraints, recovery outcomes and alignment with regulatory, environmental and community expectations. Transition pathways are evaluated for realism, durability and defensibility at the owner decision level.
Outcome	An assured understanding of feasible and sustainable land uses that supports informed transition planning, reduces uncertainty and protects long-term land value, stewardship and legacy.

Why it matters	Transition from closure or land transition activities into ongoing stewardship is a critical risk point. Poorly assured handovers can create ambiguity around responsibilities, monitoring, maintenance and future obligations, leading to dispute, regulatory challenge or long-term liability exposure.
Our focus	We assure handover processes, documentation completeness and clarity of responsibilities at transition. Roles, monitoring requirements, controls and residual obligations are tested for traceability, regulatory acceptance and long-term defensibility under owner governance.
Outcome	Assured and traceable transition outcomes that support regulatory and stakeholder confidence, reduce long-term risk and position land for responsible stewardship and future use.
