2024 was another successful year for the Dialogue. A major highlight was the Community Forum in Singleton, with over 120 community members, mining employees, and government representatives gathering to discuss key issues important to the community.

The environmental monitoring projects continued with now over a decade of data collected on rehabilitation, water usage, and air quality in the Upper Hunter. It was another successful year for our School Mine Tour Program, with nearly 600 students visiting mine sites to learn firsthand about mining operations.

We extend our gratitude to everyone involved in the Dialogue this year for their contributions and wish you all a safe holiday season.
