Volunteer Organising Committee
                           Our diverse volunteer Organising Committee have been working on
                           bringing this event to life for the past 24 months in light of the recent
                           COVID-19 restrictions. This event happens as a result of the committee
                           and other GEMG members’ willingness to volunteer time to continue the
                           sharing of knowledge and encourage professional development for those
                           working within the Goldfields and wider environments. Thanks go to the
 Dylan Martini             following people and the companies that they work for that also allow
 (Chairperson)             time for their contributions.

expanded the program to accommodate additional concurrent presentations in 2021. We are excited
to bring presentation topics on fauna, flora, survey techniques, data & technology, mine closure &
rehabilitation, groundwater, climate & renewable energy, eDNA, tailings, financial assurance,
contaminated sites, native title and two interactive panel sessions.
