Tenement Intelligence

It reads the WA register for you. See risk and opportunity first.

Every signal here is derived from the official WA mining record, the register daily and the Warden's Court cause list every fifteen minutes, and shown on the map, on its own or layered together. The record has always held the pressure, competition and opportunity. NextMaps surfaces it, often before it is obvious publicly.

The signals

Turn on the layer. Read the ground.

Each layer scores the whole state every day, so you can screen WA at a glance and drill into a single tenement when something stands out.

Tenement Timeline

Play WA tenure changes forward and back over time, and watch grants, transfers and surrenders unfold across the state.

Distressed Tenements

Holders under financial or legal pressure: forfeiture, overdue rent, severe underspend, expiring with no renewal.

Before the Warden

Tenements with a matter listed in the Warden's Court: forfeiture applications, plaints, and ballots for contested ground.

Ground Release Zones

Where supply is opening up, ground lapsing or being surrendered, before it is formally gazetted.

Expenditure Compliance

Actual spend versus the minimum obligation, so you can see who is underspending their commitment.

Application Hotspots

Where ground is being contested, grid cells coloured by how many companies are competing.

Click any flagged tenement and the signal shows its working, scored, not guessed:

New: Before the Warden

The ground someone else is already moving on.

NextMaps reads the Warden's Court cause list every fifteen minutes and draws it on the tenement at stake, with the hearing date on the popup.

  • Forfeiture applications and plaints. A third party asking the court to take the ground off its holder.
  • Ballots. Two applications lodged over the same ground, priority decided by the draw. The layer names the competitor even when the cause list only lists one side.
  • Objections and matters on foot, optional, for when you want the full picture on a piece of ground rather than only what is at stake.
Around two in three of the tenements facing a forfeiture application in the Warden's Court carry no forfeiture notice on the register. The register flag is administrative, raised when the department acts on rent or expenditure. A court forfeiture is somebody else moving on a holder who is paid up on rent and clean on the current year, so nothing we compute flags it.

A matter reaches the cause list about six weeks before it is heard, which is time enough to do something with it: assess the ground, talk to the holder, or be ready on the day. Turn the alert on for an area, a holder or a single tenement and it lands in your inbox within fifteen minutes of the listing being published, rather than whenever you next think to look.
How it works

Derived from the register, refreshed every day.

NextMaps syncs the WA Government tenure and register data daily, then computes each signal across every live tenement in the state. Expenditure compliance is actual spend against the effective minimum; distress combines forfeiture, overdue rent, underspend and looming expiry into a single score; opportunity flags long-held, low-intensity ground where the holder looks disengaged.

Not everything moves on a daily clock. The Warden's Court cause list is polled every fifteen minutes, because a hearing can be listed and heard inside a week, and the RSS notification feeds are watched continuously so surrenders and withdrawals reach you the same morning.

Because it runs against the live register every day, the picture you see is current, not a stale snapshot. The same intelligence powers alerts and watchlists, so you can be told the moment a tenement you care about slips into distress or lands on the court list, and it feeds straight into a prospectivity report when you want the full history behind a piece of ground.

Screen all of WA in a glance. Then act first.
