矿区督察员（Mining Warden）在履行行政职责时，需接收并登记其辖区内各类采矿租约与许可的申请。可登记的租约及许可申请类型包括：1859年起实施的金矿采矿租约（通常简称采矿租约）、1861年起实施的矿物租约、1862年起实施的矿物勘探许可、1873年起实施的保留土地金矿采矿租约、1885年起实施的物业租约、1897年起实施的尾矿处理许可、1935年起实施的石油勘探许可，以及1935年起实施的石油矿物租约。
目前尚无法确定上述所有类型的租约与许可均已由矿区督察员完成登记。
1915年之前，租约与许可申请需先提交至地区矿区督察员（District Warden），再转送至墨尔本矿业部；1915年起，申请需直接提交至该部门，再由其转送至矿区督察员。
