Straterra Inc is the industry group representing the New Zealand minerals and mining sector. Straterra advocates on behalf of the sector to central and local Government around policy, rules and laws that impact mineral extraction. We provide analysis, industry knowledge and insight and an evidence-base to enable socially and environmentally responsible mining. Straterra offers a collective voice for the New Zealand resource sector and being located in Wellington, we engage with government officials on a daily basis. Our members include large and small producers, equipment suppliers, research institutions, engineering firms, exploration companies, mining professionals, and firms providing legal, accounting and other ancillary services. Our goals, as a sector, are to be recognised as a responsible and significant contributor to the New Zealand economy, the NZ Inc brand, and to the environmental and social values of all New Zealanders. We do this by participating in public policy processes; engaging with officials, politicians, stakeholders, industry, and the public; and advocating for the sector, at events and forums, and via the media. Straterra places importance on a collaborative, reasonable, and responsible approach to engagement with government and the public on resource sector issues. The stronger our membership, the better resourced Straterra will be to meet our goals and the more credible and effective we will be as an organisation. If you know someone that would benefit from being a member of Straterra, contact us.
