This section provides information about all coal mines currently operating in the Hunter subregion. The amount and type of information that is provided here is a function of availability, typically depending on the stages of mining that have been reported on and the age of mining, complying with requirements to publish information. Typically, however, the same information has been made available where possible for each mine as a basis for reporting, based on a template used for each mine. Water licensing information has been included where available and mine water management can be found in Product 2.1. The interested reader is referred to these reports for further information. The mines described in Section 1.2.2.1.1 to Section 1.2.2.1.6 are under care and maintenance or recently closed and the mines described from Section 1.2.2.1.7 onwards are ‘current’. For a development to be considered current, commercial development for that particular mine needs to have been commenced prior to December 2012.
