​Donna has been working in mine closure for over 20 years.  Drawing on approaches used by the land and infrastructure development sector, Donna has recently been working with mining companies to challenge conventional thinking and identify innovative approaches that result in a post closure land uses that have positive socio-economic value.      


Workshop Précis
​
Pathways to relinquishment and opportunities to transition to productive alternate land uses.

Background:
Using the relinquishment process to transition to alternate productive land uses potentially has significant benefits for all parties; mining companies, regulators and communities.  However, there are also challenges in achieving this transition including:
  • Current regulatory and land tenure frameworks
  • Providing for the long-term management of residual risk / liability for a site if a future land use fails
  • Lack of current mechanisms to facilitate the alignment of mining companies and investors in post mining land uses, with regional development plans

Workshop Outline:
An initial workshop explored this topic at the University of Newcastle’s 2017 Mine Rehabilitation Conference in Muswellbrook.  The aim of this workshop is to build on the findings of the initial workshop and further explore the opportunities, barriers, enablers and responsibilities for establishing pathways to:
  • More productive end land uses post mining
  • Enabling miners to successfully relinquish their responsibility for their mine lease
  • Assisting the transition to the next landholder

Who Should Attend:
The 2017 workshop identified some of the key stakeholders involved in the mining land use transition process.  This workshop would be valuable to representatives from these stakeholder groups including:
  • Land use planners (State, local and consulting)
  • Regulators
  • Mining companies (corporate affairs, community, environment, mine planning)
