We progressively rehabilitate mined land towards final land uses outlined in closure and rehabilitation plans approved by relevant government authorities. We work to restore disturbed land and to improve rehabilitation and post-mining land use outcomes by planting vegetation, optimising water flows and generating productive soil on rehabilitated land.

Bengalla Mine

At Bengalla, rehabilitation efforts are aimed at restoring the land to a combination of pastoral grassland and high-density woody vegetated land.
