Mine rehabilitation is the return of disturbed land to a safe, stable, non-polluting condition that supports a post-mining land use (PMLU). In Queensland, grazing and native ecosystems are the most commonly proposed PMLUs for rehabilitated land. However, there are a range of other PMLUs, as well as post-rehabilitation opportunities for future landholders, that could be explored to maximise social, economic and environmental outcomes from rehabilitation in Queensland.
Categories of technical and scientific mine rehabilitation publications related to PMLUs are listed below. Publications will be added on individual pages as they become available.
-
Publications on aquatic ecosystems as post-mining land uses for mine sites in Queensland.
-
Publications on grazing as a post-mining land use for mine sites in Queensland.
-
