Most of our Wilpinjong team live locally and share a commitment to protect the environmental values of our special region.
Comprehensive plans are in place to minimise impacts on the environment and community – including for water, noise, air quality, biodiversity and Aboriginal cultural heritage. Government regulators assess our performance against these plans.
At Wilpinjong we recognise the effects of climate change must be addressed and that we have a responsibility to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. We comply with the Federal Government’s Safeguard Mechanism which monitors and mandates baseline limits for our emissions.
Importantly, we believe that the transition to a net-zero emissions economy must balance the need for a timely transition with the necessity for affordable, reliable energy for Australia and other parts of the world.
Ongoing rehabilitation
Did you know that we progressively rehabilitate land we have disturbed as soon as it is no longer needed for mining? Land is seeded with native grasses and complemented with tube stock to return it to native woodland to attract the critically endangered Regent Honey Eater.
In 2023 we rehabilitated another 74ha of land to take the total rehabilitated land we are managing to 1020ha. We’re on track to complete rehabilitation of another 82ha in 2024.
