Inaugural exploration and mining rehabilitation report released

The inaugural bi-annual exploration and mining rehabilitation report for January to June 2020 has been released to provide information about our regulatory activities under the Mining Act.

By publishing this information, we aim to increase transparency, community and industry confidence in our regulatory activities and increase levels of voluntary compliance.

During the reporting period compliance priorities included tailings management, progressive rehabilitation and subsidence management.

Compliance and enforcement actions resulted in the cancellation of two mining leases and one prosecution.

Five rehabilitation information releases were published to highlight completed rehabilitation outcomes, initiatives and learnings at NSW mines sites.
