All mines operating across the Upper Hunter are progressively rehabilitating land disturbed by mining to provide temporary or final cover to minimise impacts to the land or air quality.
The Dialogue is supporting industry trials demonstrating rehabilitated mine land can support sustainable and profitable cattle grazing in the Upper Hunter.
The Upper Hunter Mining Dialogue is committed to ensuring communities near where mining companies operate are environmentally sustainable and that impacts of mining on air, land, and water resources in the Upper Hunter are minimised.
The Dialogue’s Joint Environment Working Group brings together our community and environment groups, local and state government and mining industry stakeholders to prioritise issues and develop and implement solutions to address cumulative impacts of mining for the Upper Hunter communities.
Managing and minimising air quality impacts, ensuring the region’s water resources are used responsibly and sustainably; and rehabilitating mined land to leave a long term positive legacy are all key environmental priorities for the Dialogue.
