Coal Mining

Open cut coal mine that once fed the now decomissioned Hazelwood Power Station.

The rehabilitation goal for Hazelwood mine is to provide a safe, stable and sustainable landscape that reflects community aspirations and the practicalities of mine rehabilitation.
Currently, Hazelwood’s end of life plan is for the mine to be a large lake, surrounded by gently receding slopes and revegetating the area with trees and grasses.

Morwell, Victoria.

A very good view that depicts the operation. I hope they normalize the area after coal is depleted. "VV"
