A damning report into the environmental performance of WA mining companies has prompted the State's biggest conservation group to call for a ban on new approvals.
The WA Conservation Council claimed the Barnett Government's regulatory system was a mess after Auditor-General Colin Murphy found departments and miners were failing to meet environmental and social obligations.
In a report, Mr Murphy said the Department of State Development was not ensuring miners maximised local content and Indigenous Affairs had failed to enforce compliance with heritage conditions.
