Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority

The Mine Land Rehabilitation Authority is an independent body established on 30 June 2020 in response to a recommendation by the 2015-16 Hazelwood Mine Fire Inquiry.

The authority replaces the roles and functions of the Latrobe Valley Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner who has been monitoring mine rehabilitation in the Latrobe Valley since June 2017.

The authority provides independent advice directly to the Victorian government on mine rehabilitation, and works closely with the community, stakeholders and the Latrobe Valley brown coal mine operators and other declared mines in Victoria on mine rehabilitation planning.

The authority hosts regular public forums and other events to keep communities informed and involved in mine rehabilitation planning.
