It’s time to shift focus from mine closure to what’s next.
We’re working to transform what happens when mining ends for the better.
We do this through research, projects and partnerships to:
- address barriers and develop tools and ways of working to support beneficial and productive post-mine land and infrastructure use.
- develop tools, resources and data that support regional planning and diversification.
- enable First Nations organisations and enterprises to achieve their goals.
- support operational decision-making to ensure land can be available for repurposing.
- unlock opportunities for regional, Indigenous and Australian enterprises providing mine closure solutions.
Our work is broad, given the industry’s size, scale and impacts. It includes projects:
- at mine and rehabilitation sites, including on-ground trials in the Pilbara, south west Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Queensland.
- with regions undergoing or planning for future transitions, including in the Latrobe Valley, Bowen Basin, Pilbara and south west Western Australia.
- at national scale.
- with international involvement.
