We aim to responsibly manage the environmental impacts from our mining operations, including through progressive rehabilitation to ensure post-mining land uses are safe and productive. 

Water management

Water is a critical resource for our operations and our communities. Find out more about how we appropriately manage water use.

Land use & biodiversity

Our landholdings are used for a range of purposes in addition to mining.

Our agricultural operations enhance our land management opportunities by enabling grazing and farming to occur consistent with surrounding areas, as well as on rehabilitated mining land.

We also own and manage land for biodiversity purposes, to offset ecological disturbance at our mines under both federal and state government requirements. In Queensland at New Acland, we also manage a number of conservation zones in areas that will not be disturbed by mining. Like biodiversity offsets, these areas are managed under strict regulatory conditions.

 

Waste management & recycling

We work to responsibly manage both regulated and non-regulated waste. Our sites have management plans that detail requirements for disposal, tracking, and re-ensure compliance with relevant legislative requirements and regulations.

Air quality & noise

Dust, vibration and noise related to our operations can impact people who live near our mine sites, and we have a range of measures to manage and reduce these impacts. Both Bengalla and New Acland maintain offsite dust and noise monitoring equipment that provides real-time data to inform and adjust operations as necessary. We investigate all complaints, including those made via our environmental hotlines, and work to resolve issues in a timely manner. We provide regular reporting on environmental monitoring and detailed registers of complaints received and how they were handled are available in reports.

Rehabilitation

We work to progressively restore disturbed land and to improve rehabilitation and post-mining land use outcomes.
