Compliance manager

Every deadline on your titles. Straight from the register.

Rent, Form 5, exemptions, technical reports, expiry and compulsory surrender for every title you hold or manage, read from the DMPE register each morning, with email reminders and a calendar feed. Nothing to type in except which titles are yours.

What you get

One calendar for the whole book. Nothing typed in.

Create a portfolio for your own ground or for each client. Paste the title IDs, or pick a holder and every title they hold comes in, with titles they take up later added automatically.

  • Every obligation with its due date and amount, grouped into overdue, due within 30 days, due within 90 and later.
  • Ticks itself off when the register shows rent receipted or a Form 5 lodged, and shows the register entry behind every status.
  • Email reminders at the lead times you choose, from 90 days out to the day before, an alert the morning something goes overdue, and a Monday digest of the weeks ahead.
  • A calendar feed for Outlook or Google that keeps itself up to date, with a reminder two weeks before each due date.
  • Forfeiture applications and plaints against your titles in the Warden's Court, flagged in your alerts.
  • The whole list as a CSV whenever you need it.
What it tracks

The obligations that cost you ground. All of them, on one list.

Worked out from each title's own register record: its anniversary, rent payments, expenditure years, combined reporting group and dealings.

Rent

Payable in advance each year at the title's anniversary, with a one-month grace before a penalty or liability to forfeiture. Shown with the amount the register holds.

Form 5

The operations report on each year's expenditure, due within 60 days after the end of the tenement year, and a final one when a title ends.

Exemption from expenditure

When spend falls short of the minimum, the Form 18 application is due within 60 days after year end. Record spend to date and the shortfall shows before year end, while you can still act.

Technical report

Due within 60 days after each anniversary, or on the combined-reporting group's date. The register does not record lodgement, so you tick these off yourself.

Expiry and extension

The expiry date of every title, and whether an extension or renewal has been lodged before it.

Compulsory surrender

Exploration licences applied for after 10 February 2006 with more than 10 blocks shed 40% at the end of year 6. Shown with the date and how many blocks you keep.

For title managers and teams

Run a client's book. Share it with them free.

Most WA titles are looked after by someone other than the holder. The compliance manager is built for that: one portfolio per client, shared with the people who need to see it.

  • One portfolio per client or project, up to 10 portfolios and 500 titles on Pro.
  • Share a portfolio with a client, a director or your team. Viewers are free and need no plan; editors need their own Pro.
  • Everyone you share with gets the same reminders once they have signed in.
  • Running a larger book? Talk to us about a plan that fits it.
On the map
  • Colour your portfolio's titles on the map by their most urgent status.
  • Click any tenement to see which of your portfolios holds it, or add it to one in a click.
  • Watch the ground around your titles: one click creates an area alert over them plus about 2 km, so you hear when ground next door is pegged or dropped.
Compliance covers the deadlines on your own titles. Alerts cover what happens around them.
Where the dates come from

Read from the register. Checked against it.

Every date is worked out from the DMPE mineral titles register, which NextMaps reads each morning: commencement and anniversary dates, rent payments, expenditure years, exemptions, combined reporting groups and the register's own dealings. In September 2026 we ran it across all 23,614 live titles in WA, and it agreed with the department's own rent and Form 5 status flags on all but eight, each a title whose anniversary fell on the day of the extract.

Two honest limits. The register is only as fresh as its daily extract, so a payment made today can take a day or two to show as done. And technical reports are not recorded on the register, so those you tick off yourself. It is a second pair of eyes, not legal advice: confirm anything that matters in MTO before you act on it.

Common questions

Before you hand it your deadlines.

Who is the compliance manager for?

Anyone who holds or looks after WA mining titles: explorers and prospectors running their own ground, company secretaries, and title-management firms running books for many clients. Create one portfolio for your own ground, or one per client.

Do I have to type in dates or amounts?

No. You tell it which titles to watch, by pasting title IDs or picking a holder, and every date and amount comes from the DMPE register. Pick a holder and titles they take up later are added automatically. The only things you enter yourself are ticks for technical reports, which the register does not record, and, if you want the early shortfall warning, your spend so far this year.

Can my client or my team see the portfolio?

Yes. Share a portfolio with up to 20 people. Viewers are free and need no plan of their own: a client or a director can see the portfolio and get its reminder emails. Editors can add titles, tick items off and record spend, and need their own Pro.

How current is it, and can I rely on it?

It is read from the DMPE register every morning, so it is as current as the department's daily extract; a payment made today can take a day or two to show as done. Checked across every live title in WA, it agreed with the department's own rent and Form 5 status flags on all but a handful. It is a second pair of eyes, not legal advice: confirm anything that matters in MTO before you act on it.

What does it cost?

The compliance manager is part of NextMaps Pro, priced per user: up to 10 portfolios and 500 titles. Running a larger book as a title-management firm? Email [email protected] and we will set up a plan that fits it.
