Mine forecast disturbance and rehabilitation data

The forescast spatial data set provides information on where mines in NSW plan to commence disturbance and rehabilitation activities across the mine site over a forecast three-year period. This information is created and submitted on an annual basis by each large mine operator to fulfill Forward Program requirements required under Schedule 8A of the Mining Regulation 2016.

The collection of this spatial data is administered by the Resources Regulator in NSW who conducts reviews of the data submitted for assessment purposes. In some cases, information provided may contain inaccuracies that require adjustment following the assessment process by the Regulator. The Regulator will request data resubmission if issues are identified.
