The Natural Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2019 (NROLA) was passed by Parliament on 15 May 2019 and amends a significant number of Acts, including some key changes to the following resources legislation:

1. The Mineral Resources Act 1989 (MR Act);
2. The Mineral and Energy Resources (Common Provisions) Act 2014; and
3. The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004.
