Currently only the Latrobe Valley coal mines are Declared Mines.

Developed following extensive engagement with key stakeholders, the draft regulations aim to provide better oversight of Latrobe Valley coal mine rehabilitation.

The new regulations are expected to come into effect later in 2022, with mine operators having three years to develop and submit their rehabilitation plans.

To view the draft Declared Mine Regulations and provide feedback, visit Engage Victoria.
