Gillian Tomkinson
Gillian has eight years of experience in consulting and industry roles in a range of resource development, mining, industrial and infrastructure projects. During this period, she has been involved in mineral sands, iron ore and gold projects as well as infrastructure projects such as roads, fibre optic and communications, and a solar power farm. Key clients include Mineral Resources Limited, Fortescue Metals Group, Anglo Gold Ashanti and Ramelius Resources.
Gillian is experienced in the development of closure criteria, planning for closure, and closure reporting. She has also advised on Mine Completion Reports for future relinquishments and has prepared environmental impact and risk assessments and Mine Closure Plans for projects in the Pilbara and Great Southern regions of Western Australia.
Gillian has recently joined CDM Smith from industry, where she worked predominantly in the preparation of Mine Closure Plan updates in accordance with the new 2020 Statutory Guidelines for Mine Closure Plans.


I am driven by the desire to understand the needs and motivations of my clients, along with the approvals and closure context, to deliver sound solutions.
