363 more stable production. As consequence levels decrease through better monitoring performance and earlier interventions, operations gain the ability to safely re-evaluate Consequence Levels within the Confidence– Consequence (DAC) matrix, creating pathways for risk-informed design optimisation while maintaining compliance with statutory, industry, and corporate standards. In this way, the Roadmap elevates geotechnical monitoring from a purely technical function to a strategic enabler of safer, more predictable, and more capital-efficient mining, fully aligned with long-term organisational value creation. Figure 6. – Roadmap for Geotechnical Monitoring within the Resource Centre of Excellence ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors extend their appreciation to the executives of the Resource Centre of Excellence for their continued support and commitment to advancing innovative geotechnical capabilities. We also thank the Decision Science team for their technical expertise and collaborative contribution throughout the development of this work. Finally, we acknowledge the WAIO Geotechnical Team for their trust, operational insight, and dedication, which were essential to the successful execution of this project.
