Abstract | Regulation of mining in Queensland, Australia requires completed rehabilitation to result in the site being safe, stable, presenting no adverse off-site impacts and for a sustainable end use acceptable to stakeholders to be designated. By 2008, an estimated area of 70,000 ha of the coal-mining region of central Queensland had been disturbed by mining activities of which some one third has been rehabilitated. The remaining notional accrued rehabilitation liability exceeds A$1 billion. Rehabilitation of mined land in central Queensland is performed by re-contouring spoil heaps to reduce This paper reports on research into the management style likely to be used by the region’s graziers if • The financial stability of the grazier's business (25%). An understanding of factors that influence the grazing management of mined land can be used to assess risks, suggest interventions to reduce grazing risks, to guide the planning of future rehabilitation work, and to support a company's end use proposal to the regulator. |
